Ryan Reynolds has landed stars who spent time with Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford
Wrexham have made a host of high-profile signings since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over, with their players counting several famous stars among their former teammates
Wrexham’s glamorous transformation thanks to the star power of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been nothing short of cinematic.
The Hollywood A-listers have turned the Red Dragons from a non-league team hunting for freebies to League One promotion hopefuls splashing out a cool £2million in the winter transfer window. With former Premier League hotshots and academy prospects now in their ranks, Wrexham’s squad has mingled with some big names.
Their record-breaking signing this season was Reading striker Sam Smith, who joined the Welsh club for a hefty fee believed to be around £2million. Smith, a product of Manchester United’s youth system, once shared the academy pitch with stars like Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay.
But it wasn’t just his teammates that left an impression; Sir Alex Ferguson himself provided a sprinkle of magic to Smith’s ambitions. The forward told The Sun about his unforgettable encounters with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He said: “I met Sir Alex a few times. He used to watch the academy games. He used to invite the under-sevens and under-eights on to the first-team coach before they set off for games to meet all the players.
