Who is Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds? One half of the Hollywood duo aiming for Premier League

The fortunes of National League team Wrexham changed drastically on 16 November 2020 when it was confirmed that RR McReynolds Company would take over the Welsh club.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became the club's co-owners, McReynolds being a composite of their two surnames, and almost instantly put one of the world's oldest professional football clubs from a city close to the English border back on the map. The club failed to complete a fairytale first full season by falling to eventual play-off winners Grimsby Town at the semi-final stage, but are now poised to push for promotion again.

Ahead of a potential automatic promotion to the Football League (EFL) or another attempt to reach League Two through the National League play-offs, we take a look at how Reynolds ended up being a part owner of Wrexham.
