WREXHAM’S promotion celebrations were in full swing over the weekend after securing their spot in League One.
Following Saturday’s 6-0 victory over Forest Green the Hollywood-backed club will play in the English football’s third tier for the first time in 19 years.
Wrexham fans were treated to a night of singing, Jagerbombs, and celebration with the squad at a local restaurant and bar.
The players and staff were all smiles as they posed for a group photo at The Fat Boar – which the local posted with the caption: “Winners get dinners & beers x.”
With a lot of booze spotted in that team photo, the celebration soon became merry as the players and fans began to drink together.
Wrexham shot-stopper Mark Howard was spotted on film drinking a jager bomb with one fan while toasting to “Up the f****** Reds”.

And another pic saw striker Paul Mullin belting his heart out singing on a bar stool.
The Fat Boar uploaded an image of that moment alongside the caption: “‘Same time next year?” as the club owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney hope they achieve a third-straight promotion.
Deadpool star Reynolds said on X: “A few years ago, if you told me I would be crying tears of joy over a football match taking place in north Wales, you would be Rob McElhenney.
“Congrats to Wrexham and to my co-chairman in crime. Double up the town! This is the ride of our lives.”
