Football at Wrexham University

Embody the spirit of Wrexham University, join the football team and make the most of our elite football training facilities and player benefits.

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.
