With Phil Parkinson’s leadership, Wrexham returned to the Football League for the first time in 15 years after emerging victorious in the National League title last month. Because of the utter dedication of the skilled players, the team made history. To ensure such wins in the future, the owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are planning to get extraordinary players on board. One of the players is Gareth Bale, who responded to the owners’ plea.

Welsh winger Gareth Bale is considered one of the greatest wingers of his generation. He announced his retirement from football on January 9, 2023. At 33, he called his time on a phenomenal 17-year career in the sport. However, the owners of the third-oldest professional football club approached Bale and asked him to play for the team. While it started out as a joke, it turned out the Wrexham FC owners were serious about it.

As Express.co.uk noted, the 33-year-old player responded to McElhenney’s message. At the UK Sport Industry Awards 2023, the Welshman talked about the possibility of him joining the club. He denied the chance and added he would definitely have a conversation with the Hollywood duo. However, at the moment, he was happy spending time with his kids and his wife.

Because of his commitment to football, he could not give time to his personal life. Nevertheless, after his retirement, all he wants to do is stay closer to his family while enjoying playing golf.

How did Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney approach Gareth Bale?

Do you remember how the Deadpool actor slid into the DMs of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star to ask about buying Wrexham AFC with him? In a way, it happened with Gareth Bale, as well. No, not the Canadian actor, but it was McElhenney who texted Bale to join the club. McElhenney admitted sending the message, and he also revealed what he said to him.

In the text, McElhenney told Bale about how he had his whole life remaining. He would be able to spend the rest of his life with his family, but they need him for just a year. Being serious in the disguise of sounding funny, the American actor seriously approached Bale to come on board. However, the efforts of the Wrexham FC owners went in vain as the player denied coming back to the game.
