Ryan Reynolds, the Canadian actor and entrepreneur, has recently made headlines with his acquisition of Wrexham AFC, a Welsh football club with a rich history. While many were initially intrigued by Reynolds’ surprise investment, it seems that the actor has far grander plans for the club than mere ownership. Sources close to Reynolds have hinted at an imminent promotion push for Wrexham, with the Deadpool star throwing his weight and resources behind the team in a bid to boost their prospects. But just what is Ryan Reynolds preparing for Wrexham, and could this be the start of a new era for the beloved club? Let’s take a closer look.
Wrexham AFC, a Welsh football club formerly playing in the English football league are back in contention to return to the football league after a 15-year hiatus. The club is owned by famous actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, who purchased it in 2020, and since then they have taken necessary measures to improve the team’s play, gaining admiration and popularity with the airing of the “Welcome to Wrexham” television series that was broadcast on one of America’s most prominent channels, FX.
Wrexham played host to Yeovil Town on Tuesday, which helped to cement their place as potential champions of the Vanarama National League. They emerged victorious against Yeovil Town with a 3-0 win, which brought them closer to securing their promotion to the fourth tier of English soccer. Wrexham requires just one more win to secure promotion to the English Football League after a long absence, and they are currently leading the Vanarama National League standings.
Ryan Reynolds, who is famous for his roles in blockbuster movies, such as “Deadpool,” “Green Lantern” and “Free Guy,” has reportedly acquired a home worth £1.5 million in Marford, Wales, in a bid to get closer to his football club. Marford is located approximately five miles away from The Racecourse Ground- the stadium where Wrexham plays its home games.
The goalkeeper for Wrexham FC, Ben Foster, recently revealed that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney intend to throw an extravagant party to celebrate the team’s achievements once they have secured their promotion to the fourth tier of English soccer. “If we get promoted, they’re gonna take us away somewhere with a lot of flashing lights,” Foster told CBS Sports recently.
Wrexham’s latest 3-0 win last Tuesday against Yeovil Town brought their season point total to 107 points, which is a record for any English professional football club. They are now four points clear of second-placed Notts County, and they have only two games left to play. The Irishman, Anthony Forde, opened the scoring for Wrexham with a deflected shot on the hour, and twelve minutes later James Jones struck a rebound into the bottom corner of the Yeovil goal. Paul Mullin’s 77th-minute header closed scoring.
Wrexham’s next match is against Boreham Wood at the Racecourse Ground on April 22nd, and fans are optimistic that the team will continue their winning ways, potentially leading them to secure their promotion to the English Football League.
In conclusion, Wrexham FC has had a meteoric rise to fame since the acquisition by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2020. Their decision to invest in the club has led to a rise in popularity across America, and the team has been playing exceptionally well this season, breaking several records. Fans will keep their fingers crossed that Wrexham FC will continue to dominate and potentially secure their promotion to the English Football League.
As we eagerly anticipate Ryan Reynolds’ next move as co-owner of Wrexham AFC, we’re left wondering what he has up his sleeve. Will we see some Hollywood magic on the pitch? Perhaps a brand new stadium or modern training facilities? Whatever Reynolds has in store, we can be certain that it will be nothing short of extraordinary. As the promotion race heats up, all eyes will be on Wrexham, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this historic club with a Hollywood twist.
