Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are perhaps one of the most iconic duos in Hollywood. Over the past few months, the two have become the talk of the town not just in Hollywood but also in the Welsh football scene. Both Reynolds and McElhenney turned the tides for Wrexham as they achieved their dream of promotion from the National League. While the entire team deserves credit, it was the club’s star signing Paul Mullin who played a huge role in carrying the team. And recently, the star striker opened up about all the praises he receives from the clubs’ owners.

Ever since Reynolds and McElhenney took over Wrexham, the duo completely transformed the team. From new signings to changes in the management, both the actors left no stone unturned to help Wrexham reach the top. However, amidst the many signings the club made, it was Paul Mullin who has become the owner’s favorite. And it seems like both the owners are all praises for the 28-year-old forward. As reported by Wales Online, Mullin revealed how both Reynolds and Rob compare him to the likes of Ronaldo and Messi. He added how Reynolds and McElhenney say to him, “You do not understand how famous you are in America — only outside of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and some Premier League players.”

The star striker further stated that McElhenney and Reynolds called him one of the greatest football players. Undoubtedly, the English star surely deserves all the praise. The striker had an incredible season with almost 47 goals for the Red Dragons. He finished as the second-highest top scorer just behind Macaulay Langstaff. Elsewhere, in the interview, Mullin further stated that he hoped to play for the Wales National team. The 28-year-old forward even hopes to play in the Premier League someday.

After National League, what is next for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham?

Not long ago, the Red Dragons ended their 15-year-long drought after the team secured promotion from the National League. Ambitious as he is, Reynolds previously revealed how he plans to carry the oldest Welsh side to the Premier League. However, there is a still long way for Wrexham to go.

After finishing first this season in the National League, the Red Dragons have finally achieved their promotion to the English Football League. All in all, after an incredible run in the National League, things look very exciting for the Wrexham fans in the near future.
