  • Wrexham missed out on a League One play-off position by two points.

  • This marks the end of Wrexham's pursuit of a fourth consecutive promotion.

Wrexham's ambitious pursuit of a fourth successive promotion has come to an end after a final-day draw against Middlesbrough saw them miss out on a League One play-off spot. The result meant Wrexham finished two points behind Hull City, who secured sixth place with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City.

The Welsh club, aiming to secure the sixth position in the league table, saw their hopes extinguished as events elsewhere unfolded. While Wrexham battled to a draw, Hull City capitalised on their opportunity, ensuring their progression into the play-offs and leaving Wrexham to reflect on what might have been.

The outcome also had implications for Middlesbrough, whose draw brought an end to their unlikely, albeit mathematically challenging, attempt to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League. While their aspirations were always considered a long shot, the final whistle confirmed their fate alongside Wrexham's.

For Wrexham, the focus now shifts to preparing for the next season, having fallen just short of extending their remarkable run of promotions. The club will undoubtedly assess the season's performance and strategise for future campaigns, aiming to build on the progress made.
