Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney sent Wrexham transfer plea by ex-Premier League hero

Former Blackburn Rovers hero Morten Gamst Pedersen has said he'd "love to" return to the UK to prolong his career with Wrexham.

The Norway international, who played more than 250 times in the Premier League, is still going strong at 41. He has spent the last nine years back in his homeland and is currently on the books of second-tier Ranheim. He wouldn't be the first veteran to rock up at the Racecourse Ground, with goalkeeper Ben Foster coming out of retirement to join the team earlier this year.

Foster produced a match-winning penalty save against Notts County to help Wrexham seal promotion back to the Football League after 15 years away, but they won't just be looking to survive next term. With the backing of Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, further squad investment is expected, and Pedersen has opened the door to a move.
