McElhenney's Wrexham side recently gained promotion to the English Championship, having secured a second-place finish in the third division with a game to spare.  

He and Reynolds took charge of the club in 2021, and it has since enjoyed a meteoric rise, earning three consecutive promotions. Their end goal is to reach the promised land of the English Premier League. 

Elsewhere, Celtic loanee Marco Tilio has outlined his ambitions to play at the 2026 World Cup. 

The winger is currently enjoying a temporary spell at Melbourne City. 

"I'd hope to say I'll be playing consistently over in Europe," he said when asked by Optus Sport where he sees himself in a year's time. 

"We'll see, but that's where my head is at."

Then, quizzed on whether he aims to play at the next World Cup, Tilio stated: "Of course, that would be the plan.

"I've got to do everything up until then to make sure I'm up for selection."
