Wrexham Is On The Verge Of Promotion After Wycombe Loses To Leyton Orient

The stage is set for Wrexham to seal promotion to the second tier of English soccer after Leyton Orient beat Wycombe 1-0 on Saturday.

Wrexham needs victory in its home game against Charlton later in the day to clinch the second promotion place in third-division League One.

It would be a third straight promotion for the club owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, which was a non-league team when the actors bought it in 2021.

Third-place Wycombe needed to win to take the battle for promotion to the final round of the season. But Randell Williams' goal in the 66th minute at Brisbane Road meant Wrexham could get the job done Saturday in its final home game of the season against Charlton.

The nearby Turf pub, which has earned world renown from the docuseries "Welcome to Wrexham," erupted in cheering after the final whistle of Wycombe's match.
