Wrexham continue to make progress under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds with bigger things hopefully to come in the future.
Wrexham have enjoyed a stunning rise under Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, moving up from the National League to League One in rapid fashion.
Add in the off-field success with ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ and this project has been moving in the right direction over the last three years.
Wrexham still want to go even further though and Reynolds has admitted wanting another promotion this season.
There are other ways for Wrexham to progress though and it seems that McElhenney and Reynolds are exploring all avenues.
FAW chief confirms Wrexham talks
Wrexham may play in the English leagues but that does not take away any Welsh pride or identity.
The main two Welsh clubs in the England system, Cardiff City and Swansea City, have both had their stints in the Premier League but are now in the Championship – and Wrexham are looking to go past both clubs.
That may take some time but Wrexham have now received a visit from a top FAW executive.
FAW chief executive Noel Mooney has confirmed on X that he and his colleagues met with Wrexham on Thursday, fronted by new CEO Michael Williamson.
Mooney claims that the discussions centred around how Welsh football can be grown with Wrexham a big factor in any potential rise.
Mooney added that there is ‘so much to be excited about’ with Wrexham playing a role in plans for improvement within Welsh football.
Wrexham may well stake a claim for more international football at the STōK Cae Ras.
The 2023 friendly against Gibraltar was the last Wales game to be held in Wrexham, the first since 2019.
Cardiff understandably receives most of the focus, but Wrexham are the force in North Wales and may well want more international action in the future.
How Wrexham are looking to progress
These talks will also leave Wrexham fans wondering about the Welsh League Cup.
Reports earlier this season suggested that Wrexham have held talks to join the Welsh League Cup.
Phil Parkinson supported the idea of Wrexham joining the Welsh League Cup with Cardiff, Swansea and Newport County also involved.
The FAW are interested in the proposal too and that may have been brought up during Mooney’s visit to Wrexham.
Add in that Wrexham have joined up with a major architectural firm to discuss stadium improvements and Wrexham are clearly looking at ways to build both and off the field under McElhenney and Reynolds.
