Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds with co-owner Rob McElhenney bought the Welsh club Wrexham AFC, which plays in the fifth division of English soccer. They aim to make the club a force to reckon with and have pumped new life into the team. Reynolds and McElhenney are closely looking after the proceedings of their new club, including the transfers. 

In the summer transfer window, when Wrexham AFC signed a striker, one such action of Reynolds broke the news over social media before the official announcement. Wrexham AFC fans were quick to point it out and spread the news all over.

Wrexham AFC Executive Director shares the incident involving Ryan Reynolds

A few months back, Wrexham Executive Director Humphrey Ker, while speaking to SiriusXM FC radio station, shared how Reynolds broke the news of a transfer on social media. Ker said, “We signed a player in the summer. I think it was Elliot Lee who came from Luton Town, and obviously, we conclude the business a little before we released the information to the fans. Ryan and Rob were informed this guy is joining us. Ryan goes and follows him on Instagram. And Bang! It is all over Wrexham Twitter immediately.”

Fans following Reynolds on Instagram after noticing it broke the news everywhere. It resulted in Wrexham announcing the signing the same night. The signing came as a big boost for the fans as the club is striving for promotion after missing out on it last season.

Wrexham AFC finished second last season and was in the playoffs for promotion. However, their defeat in the semifinal against Grimsby Town crashed their dream of qualification. It would have been a great first season for new owners Reynolds and McElhenney had Wrexham been promoted. The first transfer window under new owners was good as they were able to rope in players from higher leagues and again strive for promotion this season.
