The team’s success has captivated the locals and football fans around the world. Their Hollywood owners certainly will have the funds to improve the club due to its improved value, according to club director Shaun Harvey.

Harvey recently revealed that Wrexham’s value and net worth has significantly increased from £2 million ($2.5m) when they took over, to now sitting at £9 million ($11m). Speaking at the SportNXT conference in Australia, Harvey said: “It is worth noting [that] it is an investment that has paid off. Now worth £9m.

“The main reason for ownership was the town’s history and to provide hope to the town whilst offering something the community could get behind. The social media growth has been astronomical from 2020 to 2024, seeing an increase from 152,000 [followers] to 3,981,747 across all platforms.

“Ultimately, it was exposure, the spotlight that had been shone and all of a sudden, everybody wanted to see what was going on. We successfully managed the football club in the town for the local community and built everything else around it. It remained relatable.”

Reynolds and McElhenney’s decision to invest in Wrexham has not only increased the club’s financial fortunes, but also raised the profile around the world. This is due to the popular Welcome to Wrexham Netflix series, which has given a behind-the-scenes look at how the club operates, as well as its transformation and gradual rise up the ranks.
