First words from Ben Foster as former Manchester United man reacts to Wrexham promotion

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster opened up on the special feeling of helping Wrexham return to the Football League after the Welsh club won the National League title.

Foster, 40, came out of retirement to sign for Wrexham, where the goalkeeper spent a spell on loan as a youngster, and has played in their last seven matches. Phil Parkinson's men secured the title with a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood on Saturday night, leaving Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney delighted as they watched on amid a capacity crowd.

The visitors, chasing a play-off place, threatened to spoil the party as they took the lead after 43 seconds Lee Ndlovu when fired past Foster. Wrexham were soon back on track as Elliot Lee equalised before Paul Mullin scored twice in the second half to complete the turnaround.
