Wrexham, who has made a history of promotion for three consecutive seasons since the acquisition of a co-owner from Hollywood, will change his power in the new season.
Wrexham announced on the 16th (Korea Standard Time) that they have decided not to renew their contracts with eight players this summer. The list included Stephen Fletcher (38), goalkeeper Mark Howard and midfielder Jordan Davis. Fletcher, a former Premier Leaguer, scored eight goals in League 1 (third division) this season, and Davis is a local boy born in Wrexham, who has a professional uniform through the youth team.
Fletcher, who wore a Wrexham uniform in 2023, said on his SNS before the announcement of the club's release list that `I have a heavy heart and no choice, but I have left the team' through Wrexham, which allowed him to fall in love with football again. For the past two years, everyone in Wrexham has been my family" expressed regret. Howard, too, had an amazing journey in his `Rexum uniform. I'm lucky to be able to share the dressing room with my best colleagues..." he said goodbye.

Founded in 1864, Wrexham spent most of his time in the third division of the Football League (second division) for four seasons between 1978 and 1982. Since then, it has fallen to the bottom of the Football League 2 (fourth division) in the 2007-2008 season and has been in the dark for nearly 20 years. However, Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McKelheny took over the team in 2021, and they won the National League in the 2022-2023 season, making it to League Two promotion. Wrexham, who achieved 'back-to-back promotion' by ranking second in League 2 in the 2023-2024 season, achieved 'back-to-back', which means promotion for three consecutive seasons amid an unusual situation in which he ranked second in League 1 (third division) this season, which was expected to struggle. Wrexham is the first team in England's fifth division to win promotion for three consecutive seasons.
