Since taking over Wrexham AFC in 2021, Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have done wonders for the once-struggling fifth-division English soccer club. The club has not only gained a lot of popularity, but it has also performed well on the field.
In their inaugural season of the duo’s takeover in 2021-22, Wrexham finished an impressive second place. And now, in the latest season, the club is just three points behind the table leaders and eyeing a league title and promotion to the fourth division – with two games less played.
