Wrexham fans are experiencing a dynamic summer ahead of the club’s highly anticipated return to the Championship after 43 years. Newly-promoted, Wrexham missed out on signing veteran Premier League midfielder Tom Cairney, who opted to accept a contract extension with Fulham despite a significant £50,000-a-week proposal from Wrexham[1].
On the recruitment front, the Red Dragons completed their first summer signing by bringing in former Plymouth striker Ryan Hardie. Hardie revealed he received an “exciting” video message from co-owner Ryan Reynolds after confirming his £700,000 move, highlighting the unique and high-profile environment at the club[2].
In preparation for the 2025-26 campaign, Wrexham unveiled their new home kit, inspired by the 1981-82 season when the club last competed in the second tier. The kit features a modern design with nods to tradition, including the classic collar and pinstripes, and motivational mantras woven inside[3]. Both the home and newly launched Wales-inspired yellow-and-green away kit celebrate the club’s heritage, with the away kit set to debut during their Down Under Tour against Sydney FC[5][6].
Fan enthusiasm remains strong, as Wrexham supporters continue to back the club enthusiastically—investing in merchandise and match tickets in record numbers as the new era in the Championship approaches[4]. The team is currently in Australia, with match action already underway against Sydney FC[7].
