Our Wrexham University Men’s football team is a proud and competitive representation of Wrexham University. We’re not just about playing the game; we’re about fostering a culture of development, teamwork, and excellence both on and off the pitch. The 24/25 season was an exciting dawn for the club as they recruited a new head coach with a long-term vision for the club alongside numerous new players. We currently play in the BUCS Men’s Northern Tier 6 with ambitions to move through the leagues.
