Wrexham were one of twelve clubs that had tried to join The Central League back in 1911, when the newly-formed league extended its membership from 13 to 18 clubs, but the league accepted applications from Barnsley, Huddersfield, Crewe, Rochdale and Southport instead.
I understand that Wrexham did re-apply to join The Central League again in 1920, WAL, but their application wasn't successful; therefore, after changes in the constitution of a number of different leagues, Wrexham joined the newly-formed Third Division North of the English Football League, on its inception in 1921.
