Wrexham has been fined $100,000 by the English Football League for fielding two ineligible players this season, the club announced Wednesday. The club confirmed the penalty in an official statement but did not disclose the names of the players involved or the specific matches in which they were used. The EFL rules require all players to meet eligibility criteria, including registration status and international clearance.
Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has not indicated whether it will appeal the decision. The fine is one of the largest handed to a lower-league club in recent years for administrative breaches.
