Wrexham Co-Chairman Rob McElhenney Reflects on ‘Best Years’ as Club Celebrates Two-Year Anniversary
Hollywood superstar Rob McElhenney, co-chairman of Wrexham Football Club, expressed his pride and gratitude as the club celebrated their two-year anniversary since he and fellow A-Lister Ryan Reynolds took over ownership. McElhenney and Reynolds have been instrumental in the club’s rise back to the English Football League (EFL), culminating in promotion to League Two last season.
The actor-turned-co-chairman has hailed Wrexham for the profound impact it has had on his life since assuming his role in 2020. Speaking on the occasion of the anniversary, McElhenney looked back on the remarkable journey he has experienced as part of the club.
To mark the special milestone, Wrexham’s official Instagram account posted a photo of McElhenney and Reynolds, along with the caption, Two years to the day since we welcomed our Co-Chairmen Rob McElhennney and Ryan Reynolds to Wrexham for the very first time. McElhenney shared the same photo on his own social media account, expressing that the past two years have been the best of his life.
Reynolds also joined in commemorating the anniversary by reposting Wrexham’s tweet with the photo and adding the caption, It’s fair to say we’ve all come a long way since.
The club’s players contributed to the celebration by delivering a 2-0 victory on the road against Notts County, a team they battled with for promotion last season. The win solidified Wrexham’s position in third place in the League Two standings and drew them level on points with Notts County in second.
Both Reynolds and McElhenney praised the team’s performance, showcasing their satisfaction with the results on social media. Reynolds took to Twitter to express his enthusiasm, writing, HUGE WIN AWAY. What an effort. Loved seeing Ben Tozer back on the pitch. LFG.
McElhenney’s commendation was more succinct but equally heartfelt. In a tweet to his 1.1 million followers, he simply stated, Stars gonna star.
Under McElhenney and Reynolds’ ownership, Wrexham has experienced a remarkable transformation, and their commitment to the club shows no sign of waning. As the team continues its pursuit of back-to-back promotions, the co-chairmen remain dedicated to their mission and embrace the challenge of leading Wrexham into the future.
