EFL League One News

Record signing Sam Smith scored his first goal for Wrexham as the League One promotion hopefuls strolled to a 2-0 victory over Northampton Town on Saturday.

With Birmingham City riding high at the top of League One, what do fans of the Blues really think of the club's superstar co-owner, Tom Brady?

Wrexham top scorer Elliot Lee was involved in a road traffic incident after the Vertu Trophy victory over Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday, the club has confirmed.

Teams in League One have spent record amounts with the influence of American owners such as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham and Tom Brady's part in Knighthead Capital's ownership of Birmingham City grows.

Man United look to continue their title defence, Marcus Rashford could make his Villa debut and much more as the FA Cup fourth round kicks off.
