Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continue to back Wrexham heavily on and off the field.
The American actors have been running things at the Racecourse Ground for nearly four years now.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham from the club’s Supporters Trust in 2021.
The club narrowly missed out on the play-offs during their first few months as owners, with Wrexham eventually securing promotion from the National League in the 2022/23 season.
A second-place finish in League Two followed in the next campaign, with the Red Dragons now competing with the very best at the top of England’s third tier.
There are a number of reasons the Hollywood duo have been able to climb the EFL ladder so quickly, one of which is their excellent recruitment.
It was revealed recently that Reynolds and McElhenney leave transfers to Phil Parkinson, with the Wrexham boss having a lot of control over who is signed.
Ollie Rathbone one of Wrexham’s best signings under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney
And the 57-year-old deserves immense credit for some of the players he has brought to Wales in the last few years.
Paul Mullin is struggling at Wrexham this season with just one goal in 18 League One matches, but he has previously been superb – scoring over 100 goals since his transfer from Cambridge United.
This season, meanwhile, George Dobson, Matty James, and Lewis Brunt have all shone but perhaps the best addition has been Ollie Rathbone.
The midfielder took some time to get up to speed in Wales, starting just one of the first five League One matches this season.
And after a disappointing FA Cup exit at the hands of Harrogate Town, Wrexham were told they need something different to Rathbone.
However, Parkinson has stuck with the 28-year-old and is now very much reaping the rewards.
Wrexham fans praised Rathbone earlier this month, with the Englishman now having scored two and assisted one in his last five outings.
His latest showing saw him help the Red Dragons secure a 2-2 draw with Cambridge United and it looks as though he has taken Andy Cannon’s place in the starting eleven.
How much did Wrexham pay for Ollie Rathbone
The midfielder seems to be getting better with each game he plays and, in the grand scheme of things, he cost the club very little.
Wrexham signed Rathbone from Rotherham United for £500,000 – a club record fee at the time of completion.
Modou Faal’s £590,000 transfer has since broken said record but it’s fair to say the Rotherham man has more than earned his price tag.
Birmingham City coughed up £20m for one player this past summer, making Wrexham’s six-figure deal look like such a bargain.
