Reynolds even demanded goalie Ben Foster’s match shirt and did not care when told: “It stinks by the way, it absolutely stinks.”

Ryan, who bought the club with McElhenney for £2m in 2020, said yesterday’s victory had left him “somewhere between giggling and sobbing” as he shared pictures online.

McElhenney said becoming co-owner of Wrexham had been “the honour of my life.”

Fan Cali Howet, 11, said: “I can’t believe we won the league – but we all knew it would happen. It’s amazing – I love Ryan and Rob, they’ve done so much for the city.”
