Wrexham's Hollywood-Owned Club Eyes Promotion after FA Cup Clash

Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds, center, celebrates with members of the Wrexham FC soccer team the promotion to the Football League in Wrexham, Wales, on May 2, 2023.

In a small town called Wrexham, tucked away in the serene hills of Wales, an extraordinary story is unfolding. It's a tale that seems pulled from the pages of a Hollywood script, featuring two A-list celebrities who have not only embraced the world of soccer but are propelling a club to new heights. Welcome to Wrexham, the club that has become the embodiment of ambition and passion fueled by the star power of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Three years into their ownership, Reynolds and McElhenney's enthusiasm for Wrexham shows no signs of waning. The players bask in the glory of their celebrity owners, with striker Steven Fletcher even joking that Reynolds sends him texts before his own wife does. Such is the level of dedication that Reynolds exhibited at the start of the new year when he announced contract extensions for two of Wrexham's top players, Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee. Not only that, but he took to social media to send his best wishes to two injured players from the opposing team. Talk about spreading the love!
