Wrexham have secured back-to-back promotions meaning they will be playing League 1 football next season, however, ten first-team players could be on their way out before next season.

It was a spine-tingling atmosphere at the Racecourse, with fans flooding the pitch at full-time to celebrate the club's 6-0 win over Forest Green which secured their promotion.

The result marked the latest milestone in the club's success story under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who took over in 2021.

Wrexham are fast becoming a genuine force in the EFL and will be looking to perform similar heroics next season as they set their eyes on the prospect of Championship football.

Speaking to OLBG Wrexham goalkeeper Mark Howard confirmed the ambition of the ownership to constantly improve.

"It’s not and has never been just a short-term thinking. The owners have tried to improve every aspect of the town, let alone the club. That’s for everyone to see," He explained.

"We are constantly improving and evolving. The dressing room has been renovated, the physio room has been done up and the ground now has a new stand. They are constantly looking to find a new training base," Howard revealed.

While this success and ambition is the dream for any lower league club, it does come with expected collateral damage, and considering the step up in level this weekend's clash with Stockport could be many players last.

Heading into the final game of the season, Wrexham have ten players whose contracts are up in the summer, with the 'retained and released' lists not set to be released until well after the end of the season.

Those with contracts up are Arthur Okonkwo, Aaron Hayden, Jordan Tunnicliffe, Rob Lainton, Callum McFadzean, Luke Young, Ben Tozer, James McClean, Liam Hall, and Mark Howard.

McClean, however, does have the option for an extra year but it is unconfirmed if Wrexham will keep the former Premier League ace.

Despite already having promotion wrapped up, tomorrow's clash with table-toppers Stockport could be the last chance for those previously mentioned to show they deserve to come along for the ride.
