Wrexham are yet to begin their League One campaign but former goalkeeper Ben Foster has made a big prediction.
The Red Dragons celebrated back-to-back promotions after being taken over by Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in February 2021.
Wrexham will play in League One for the first time since their inception and have already let go of several key players from their promotion winning seasons as they prepare for life in the third tier.

Gaining promotion to the Championship will be their hardest challenge yet but Foster believes that more success is coming very soon.
The 41-year-old, who retired again after starting the season with the Welsh side, believes they will achieve promotion for the third time in a row next year.
When asked if another promotion would be possible, he said on his Fozcast podcast: โI think they're going to do it, I really do. I think they're going to invest in half-a-dozen really good players. Solid people, solid professionals that are going to raise the standard a little bit more.

"What they've got in that team anyway is League One level. If they add more quality, more experience, they're going to be there or thereabouts again come the end of the season.
"I guarantee you, the owners, manager [Phil Parkinson], the coaching staff and even some of the players will not be thinking about solidifying. They'll be thinking they want to at least be knocking on the doors of the play-offs."
Foster added: โIt's hard to replace that level of person in the changing room. If one club can do it, Wrexham can do it because their recruitment policy is: 'We recruit people first and they have to be good at football'.โ

Wrexham have been linked with a blockbuster move for Leicester star Jamie Vardy whose future with the Foxes is unclear after earning them promotion back to the Premier League.
The 37-year-old shut down the idea of retiring after winning the Championship title which could leave the door open for a move to the Racecourse Ground.
