Just a few years ago, Wrexham was a non-league team that barely made headlines beyond North Wales.
Now? They’re on the brink of something huge—and they’ve just added another high-profile name to their already buzzing squad.
With the Championship season just around the corner, Wrexham is not just showing up—they’re aiming to make a statement.
Hollywood Owners, Serious Football Ambitions
Since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney swooped in with their much-publicized takeover in 2021, Wrexham has been anything but ordinary.
With their infectious enthusiasm, smart investments, and commitment to the club’s long-term growth, the Hollywood duo have helped take Wrexham from the National League to the Championship in just three seasons.
And they’re not stopping there.
Kieffer Moore Signs in £2 Million Deal
The club’s latest move? Bringing in seasoned Welsh international Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United in a deal reported to be worth around £2 million.
At 32, Moore brings not just experience, but a proven track record and the kind of presence up front that can tip tight matches in the Championship.
He’s penned a three-year contract and wasted no time expressing his excitement:
“I’m over the moon to join the club and I can’t wait to get started.
I want to be that experienced leader and bring a lot to the team.
My work ethic is one of my strongest assets and I want to help drive the team forward.”
A Summer of Ambition
Moore isn’t the only big name arriving this summer.
Wrexham has now made eight signings in total, each one designed to strengthen their squad for what will be their first second-tier campaign since 1982.
Just last week, they completed a deal for Conor Coady, the former England international, who signed a two-year deal with an option to extend.
His leadership and Championship experience could be crucial as the team adjusts to the higher level.
Club Records Keep Falling
This summer has also seen Wrexham smash their own transfer records—twice.
First, they brought in Liberato Cacace, a left-back from Empoli.
Then came Lewis O’Brien, a dynamic midfielder from Nottingham Forest.
Both signings speak volumes about Wrexham’s intent: they’re not just here to survive in the Championship—they want to compete.
Even Eriksen Was Approached
In a bold move that shows just how ambitious the club has become, Wrexham even reached out to Christian Eriksen, who recently became a free agent after leaving Manchester United.
While the Danish star was reportedly impressed by the offer, he ultimately turned it down, preferring to continue playing in a top-tier league.
Still, the very fact that Wrexham is chasing players of Eriksen’s calibre tells you everything about where this club is headed.
Looking Ahead to a Historic Season
With the likes of Moore, Coady, and others now on board, Phil Parkinson’s side looks well-equipped for the challenges ahead.
Climbing from League Two to the Championship in two seasons was impressive—but staying there, and thriving, will be an entirely different test.
One thing’s for sure: with Wrexham’s current trajectory, Hollywood endings don’t seem so far-fetched.
