The matches will form part of Wrexham's preparations for their first season in League One -- English football's third tier -- having secured a second straight promotion by beating Forest Green 6-0 on April 13.

The Welsh club, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, face League Two champions Stockport County on Saturday in the final game of their season.
