EFL League One News

Veteran forward Steven Fletcher has announced he is leave Wrexham when his contract expires this summer, although "not by choice."

Bradford City left it late -- the 96th minute -- to score the goal that secured their first promotion since 2013 and a place in League One. Isn't this what soccer is all about?

Former Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhig has reached an agreement to buy Reading, the English League One club said on Saturday.

Wrexham's promotion might look miraculous, but it's actually a combination of factors that other Premier League hopefuls shouldn't try to replicate.

Birmingham City broke the EFL points record, after a 2-0 win against Blackpool took the club to an unprecedented 108 points with one game still to play.
