WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — The sequel has turned out to be just as good for Wrexham.

That’s back-to-back promotions for the team since it was thrust into the spotlight following the investment by its Hollywood owners. It is two tiers away from the Premier League. Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney bought the little-known club for $2.5 million in 2021.
