Wrexham have a player in their ranks who has "Premier League written all over them", according to former captain Ben Tozer.
Phil Parkinson's side will play League One football this season after securing their second successive promotion.
The Red Dragons have been on a whirlwind journey since Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their much-anticipated takeover in 2021.

And somebody who has been a crucial part of the Wrexham story has been a product of their academy system.
Max Cleworth made his first-team debut for the North Wales club, aged 17, in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against Ayr United.
The defender went on to break into the first-team set-up during the 2021/22 season, featuring 28 times in the National League before playing 24 times in League Two.
After becoming a key player at the Racecourse Ground as they secured back-to-back promotions, the future is bright for Cleworth.
In fact, former Wrexham captain Ben Tozer believes he can go and establish himself in England's top tier.

Speaking to Ben Foster on the Fozcast podcast, Tozer was full of praise for the 21-year-old, who is expected to attract transfer interest this summer.
“Max has got Premier League written all over him," he said. "It’s just whether he wants to go now and not play, or does he stay with Wrexham go all the way up to the Premier League, possibly captain the club and go that route? I don’t know what I’d do if I was him.”
Tozer, who was released at the end of his contract this summer, recently opened up on his exit after chatting to co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
“I have had a couple of really good chats with both of them," he said. "They have both took the time out to make the effort to speak to me which was nice.

"You never know what could happen in the future with the relationship we have and stuff but it is great the way they have dealt with it and dealt with me, and dealt with everyone really.”
With or without Cleworth, Wrexham will host Wycombe Wanderers in their League One opener on August 10.
