“We’re incredibly excited and a little over-caffeinated.” Hollywood stars and club co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds said in a statement.
Wrexham has gained a global following since it was bought by Reynolds and fellow actor McElhenney for $2.5 million in 2021.
The club also announced Betty Buzz — a beverage brand founded and owned by Ryan Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively — as the side’s new training kit sponsor for next season.
Lively has attended games alongside her husband as Wrexham won the National League with a record total of 111 points, with Reynolds and McElhenney rewarding the team with a trip to Las Vegas.
The team is also touring America this summer, when it will play LA Galaxy II and Premier League teams Manchester United and Chelsea.
