Even before Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac took charge of the club, Wrexham were well versed when it came to dramatic storylines.

From the highs of reaching the second tier in 1978, to the lows of crashing out of the Football League three decades later amid a collapse that had seen the club enter administration, the Wrexham faithful have seen virtually everything.

As Phil Parkinson's side bid to reignite their push to reach the promised land of the Premier League for the first time, the Red Dragons have been urged to buckle up and enjoy the ride.

"You've just got to be so steady, not too high, not too low... get on the roller coaster and enjoy it," said defender Joe Worrall.

Worrall, 29, knows what it takes to reach the big time having won promotion to the top-flight with Nottingham Forest in 2022 and Burnley in 2025.

Wrexham themselves have achieved three promotions to surge from the National League to the Championship since the headline-grabbing takeover of the club in 2021.

But what about the final step to the Premier League?

Having seen what it takes in the past, defender Worrall believes Wrexham have the crucial 'golden triangle', or maybe even the 'Three Amigos', to achieve their goal.

"The dressing rooms I've been involved in, they've all been watertight," he explained, when asked about the three key requirements to step up to the top tier of English football.

"When I think to my two previous clubs getting promoted, we've had the top one, two, or three squads in the division.

"Also, the two managers I've worked under when I've got promoted, you've got a clear identity in the way you play.

"I think Wrexham are close to those three.

"I don't know how you'll quote it, the golden triangle or three amigos or whatever you say. They're the three things that I thought of from the times I've had promotion."

Despite only moving to north Wales from Burnley on transfer deadline day, Worrall has swiftly grasped the extent of the club's recent growth.

Parkinson's side currently sit 17th after 12 games of the campaign, on the back of securing a club-record highest finish of seventh in the second tier last time out.

The experienced Worrall has been able to look beyond the razzmatazz and the finances as focused on by most outside the Racecourse Ground, to identify that the club has done so much more than may initially meet the eye.

"Wrexham have had so much success over the last four or five years since the manager's been here, the owners and the players," he explained.

"The club's got an identity now and that's almost, 'win every game, get promoted', it's worked for the last three seasons.

"The manager knows what he's doing, blah, blah, blah... they've got all the money, they're going to get success, but it doesn't quite work like that.

"I spoke when I signed about the ambitions of the club, but every new player that comes into a club says that.

"But with Wrexham, the proof is in the pudding. Back-to-back-to-back promotions, the manager's been here, he knows exactly what he wants from his players, and that was a big draw for me to come to the club."

Modern-day icons including Paul Mullin, Elliot Lee, Ben Tozer, Steven Fletcher and Ollie Palmer have come and gone during the club's resurgence under Parkinson.

Transfer records have regularly been smashed, revenues have skyrocketed and the club has attracted global attention.

Further evolution is inevitable according to Worrall as Wrexham bid to return to winning ways and prove they are serious promotion contenders once again.

"You have to remember that the club was way down for years, so it's been an absolute mission to get here. It's not just been as simple as throwing loads of money at it," he added.

"There's been turnover of players, but the manager has stayed the same, a lot of people here have been here for a long time and know what the club's about.

"With the new training ground, new players that come in the summer, and it'll be the same in January, it'll be the same next summer.

"We need to keep building and not just be satisfied with missing out on the play-offs last year. You've got to be pushing and be right up there."
