Wrexham players ended the 2024-25 season with a victory, beating Lincoln City as the League One campaign came to an end.
Wrexham can now truly begin preparing for life in the Championship after winning on the final day of the League One season.
Phil Parkinson watched on as Wrexham beat Lincoln City 2-0, with Elliot Lee and Ryan Longman on the scoresheet.
Few could have blamed Parkinson’s men for mentally being on the beach after Wrexham beat Charlton Athletic 3-0 to clinch promotion.

Phil Parkinson’s final message before Las Vegas
Parkinson will be weighing up his squad for the Championship test to come.
Wrexham are expected to splash the cash this summer and Parkinson has admitted some players could leave.
Parkinson has some tough decisions ahead of him, but his players are now heading off to Las Vegas.
Wrexham players have been treated to promotion parties in Las Vegas in 2023, 2024 and now 2025.
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds stump up the cash for Wrexham players to go and celebrate, with Ben Foster branding the Vegas trips ‘crazy’.
After a year of hard work, Wrexham players are able to let loose and blow off some steam.
Speaking in the dressing room after Saturday’s win at Leyton Orient, Parkinson had a fairly simple message for his players.
“You can go and have your trip to Vegas, enjoy every minute… just make sure you all come back alive,” said Parkinson.

Parkinson certainly won’t want any nasty surprises ahead of Wrexham’s pre-season preparations.
Wrexham are heading to Australia and New Zealand this summer, with Parkinson looking for everybody to be in top shape come July.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Parkinson feels that the trip to Vegas is ‘amazing’ for his players, noting that McElhenney and Reynolds promised another party at the start of the season.
Parkinson thinks the trip serves as something of a ‘target’ for the Wrexham squad alongside gunning for promotion.
Parkinson added that he will now turn his phone off and completely tune out from Wrexham’s trip, simply hoping to hear that his players have made it home safe.
“They deserve the trip,” said Parkinson. “To create history, and the owners said at the start of the season that they’d go again.
“That’s a good target as well during the season, not just getting promotion and what it means to everybody. Having that group together next week [in Vegas] will be amazing.
“I’ll be turning my phone off. I just want a message when they’re all back in the country in one piece and that’s all I need to know,” he added.
Parkinson steps away from these trips in order to let the players truly unwind, with the Wrexham squad now ready to celebrate another brilliant season.
