Wrexham A.F.C. missed out on a play-off spot in the Championship by two points. Gareth Bale hopes they 'keep doing Wales proud' as they continue to build towards their aim of reaching the Premier League.

What happened?

The Red Dragons were pipped to sixth spot by Hull City, who went on to gain promotion to the top-flight.

Why it matters for Wrexham A.F.C.

Bale hailed the club's ownership model, led by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, as 'incredible'. He stated the Red Dragons' progress since the club was taken over in February 2021 has been 'extraordinary'.

What comes next?

Bale reiterated his desire to buy a football club, with his hometown side Cardiff City sitting at the top of his wish list. Wrexham A.F.C. will look to bounce back from their narrow miss and push for Premier League promotion next season.
