Wrexham backed to achieve Championship 'destiny' under Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney after 'fairytale' rise

Andy Dibble was Wrexham's goalkeeper when the Welsh club were last promoted to the third tier in 2003, but he believes the Red Dragons can go one better and reach the Championship. After securing promotion from the National League last season, Phil Parkinson's side are flying high in League Two. Wrexham are currently second in the table after 17 games, five points behind leaders Stockport County.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wrexham spent 15 years outside the Football League after relegation in 2008, but things started to look up when Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club in 2021. Their first season in charge ended with play-off semi-final heartbreak at the hands of Grimsby Town, but last season saw Wrexham win the National League with a record 111 points total. Dibble - who is the goalkeeping coach at Wrexham's next opponents Accrington Stanley - told <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/23922432.andy-dibble-helped-wrexham-clinched-promotion-2003/" target="_blank">the Leader</a> that the sky is the limit under Reynolds and McElhenney.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Dibble said: "It is a fairytale what has happened at Wrexham. I think it is fantastic what's happened there and I would love to see Wrexham challenging for the Championship. I can see Wrexham's destiny being the Championship if they keep going the way they are and I think it will be fantastic for the town, the people, manager, players, owners, everybody."

WHAT ANDY DIBBLE SAID

Wrexham will travel to Lancashire on Saturday to take on Accrington Stanley. Reynolds and McElhenney could be back at the Racecourse on November 25 when their side hosts Morecambe. A week after that, they'll look to reach the third round of the FA Cup when they face Yeovil Town.
