A WHOLE host of famous faces have been congratulating Wrexham AFC on promotion success.

The Reds won the National League title with a 3-1 victory over Boreham Wood on Saturday evening (April 22).

And, that also means that the club will be playing in the English Football League for the first time since 2008 when the 2023/24 season begins.

Trips to the likes of Tranmere Rovers, Grimsby Town and fellow Welsh club Newport County will await Phil Parkinson's side next season.

And many a celebrity is seemingly excited by that prospect - and have also been congratulating the club on its title glory.

The likes of Will Ferrell and Hugh Jackman have previously confessed their love for Wrexham.

Now, David Beckham, Russell Crowe and more can be added to the ever-growing list of famous faces who are backing the club.

The takeover of the club by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in 2021 has certainly seen a worldwide boost in support for the Reds.

And that will no doubt continue as the club's incredible journey continues in years to come.

Following Wrexham's promotion on Saturday, former England and Manchester United star David Beckham took to his Instagram story to say: "@Wrexham_afc This makes me very happy. What a story and what an achievement."

Russell Crowe, star of films such as Gladiator and Les Miserables, described the club's journey as a 'great story so far'.

He said: "Go on Wrexham!! @Vancityreynolds & @RMcelhenney lifting hearts and trophies. If you don't know what the two R's have been up to. It's a great story so far, and it's only just begun."

Crowe previously revealed that his grandfather hailed from Wrexham.

Fellow Hollywood actor Anthony Hopkins also chimed in on Ryan Reynolds' Tweet celebrating promotion.

Writing underneath that Tweet, he said: "You're now an honorary Welsh boyo."

Match of the Day presenter and former footballer Gary Lineker also commented on the occasion.

And he's clearly looking forward to the next season of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary too!

He said: "Congratulations to @Wrexham_AFC on their promotion back into the Football League. I fancy the next series might be a decent watch @Vancityreynolds. Llongyfarchiadau Wrecsam."

Wrexham will face one final National League match this coming Saturday (April 29) when they take on Torquay United away.
