Reynolds and McElhenney actively involved in Wrexham transfers
The Wrexham boss has revealed that both Reynolds and McElhenny are keen to be involved in potential arrivals at the Racecourse.
The owners are not making football decisions, but are keen to help in speaking to the new arrivals.
Speaking to the BBC, Parkinson said: “It’s great that Ryan and Rob are the owners of the club, so it’s important that when someone signs they get a welcome from Rob and Ryan.
“They’re great at that, they’re very engaged, whenever we’ve signed a player or when we sign a player they want to be involved in terms of us explaining why we’re signing the player, and what qualities that particular player brings to the club.
“Of course, yeah, they want to make them feel welcome because there’s a togetherness about us here at Wrexham and it’s something that we want to continue with.”
Reynolds and McElhenney offer unique Wrexham transfer pull
The famous reputation of the owners is not a gimmick at the club. They are fully invested in improving and progressing the football club.
Wrexham is one of the oldest football clubs in the world and was a sleeping giant before the Hollywood owners arrived in North Wales.
The club’s 159-year history with a close-knit community is at the core of the owners’ decision-making.
Since the takeover, many big-name EFL players have joined the project convinced it is the right place for their career.
The owners offer a unique opportunity with their global reach and varied experiences.
Both Hollywood stars have been able to develop Wrexham’s off-pitch status providing strong media platforms for potential arrivals.
However, the ability to inspire targets with the traditions of the club and its potential for growth is the real unique project that the Red Dragons can offer new signings.
