Football News Update: Chesterfield Crowned National League Champions, Wrexham Secure Back-to-Back Promotions
In a thrilling season of non-league football, Chesterfield stormed to the National League title with an impressive 98-point haul, ending their six-year exile from the EFL. The Spireites, who had suffered heartbreak the previous season in a promotion final defeat on penalties against Notts County, have now banished that disappointment.
Wrexham’s Remarkable Journey
Meanwhile, the Hollywood-backed Wrexham club, co-owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have continued their remarkable journey by securing back-to-back promotions. The Welsh club, who were champions the season before, will now begin their League One campaign against Wycombe Wanderers at the Racecourse Ground.
Notts County’s Solid Finish
Notts County, who were involved in an enthralling battle with Wrexham for the National League title, finished a comfortable 14th last season after a strong start. Chesterfield and Bromley, the other promoted clubs, will now look to establish themselves in the EFL.
Chesterfield’s Transfer Moves
Chesterfield have been actively strengthening their squad for the upcoming challenge, bringing in the likes of forward Kane Drummond from Macclesfield, Paddy Madden from Stockport, left-back Lewis Gordon from Bristol Rovers, and former Shrewsbury captain Chey Dunkley.
Bromley’s Retention of Key Players
Bromley’s summer transfer activities have been more low-key, but the club has managed to secure the futures of captain Byron Webster, who scored the winning penalty against Solihull in the promotion final, and experienced defender Callum Reynolds.
“Securing their status in League Two will be the immediate focus for both Chesterfield and Bromley as they look to make their mark in the EFL.”
