Ryan Reynolds sent a statement that he found “inspiring” following Wrexham’s League One promotion.
Wrexham is currently preparing for life back in League One after receiving back-to-back promotions for the first time in club history.
The Welsh team hasn’t played at this level of football for almost 20 years, but Phil Parkinson is hoping to start their transfer window on a high note, so excitement and anticipation are building.
Naturally, the Reds are interested in a number of players, including Josh Magnennis, Stephen Humphrys, and Tom Pearce of Wigan Athletic. They are also keeping an eye on Marvin Ekpiteta, the leaving Blackpool defender.
Ryan Reynolds has given some thought to the accomplishment of his team winning promotion from League Two on their first try, even as Wrexham prepares for another promotion push the following season.
Reynolds has captured the essence of the occasion flawlessly, even though he has the largest budget in the division.
Ryan Reynolds says Wrexham promotion is the ‘most inspiring’ thing he’s been a part of
Reynolds is a Hollywood superstar, known for his roles as Deadpool and Paul Grand in the 2010 film Buried.
Yet, when comparing his success as an actor to Wrexham’s achievements, he’s placed their most recent promotion as the ‘most inspiring’ thing he’s been a part of, which is a testament to how much he adores the football club.
Speaking on the TODAYshow, the 47-year-old said: “Wrexham just got promoted again, which is amazing because everyone freaks because if you don’t even root for Rob and I, that town is impossible to not root for.
“Wrexham is the most wonderful city, and it’s just the way this club has transformed that town; it’s probably the most inspiring, most beautiful thing I’ve ever been lucky to be apart of.”
Wrexham can make history next season
Reynolds doesn’t just want to settle for consecutive promotions as the Hollywood owner is eyeing up a third promotion next season.
He’s promised to give Parkinson a substantial budget to bolster his team, and he’s stated he’ll stop at nothing to win the championship.
Wrexham will go as far as Jermaine Pennant thinks—the second tier—while managing director Humphrey Ker would be happy to finish in the top 10.
But what really makes Reynolds and Rob McElhenney stand out from the crowd is their ability to have huge dreams even when others don’t think they’re achievable.
Consequently, it wouldn’t be shocking if Wrexham were in the running come April, maybe with a chance to become the first team to get three promotions on the spin.
If not the highest achievement in English football history, it would undoubtedly be near the bottom of the pyramid.
