KINGS of Leon's drummer hopes Wrexham's star owners will let him 'hitch a ride' to a match next season.

The American rock legends put on a fantastic double-header of gigs at the Racecourse ground over Bank Holiday weekend.

Fans rocked out to some of the band's huge hits including; 'Sex On Fire', 'Use Somebody', 'Knocked Up' and 'The Bucket'.

Ahead of the gigs, drummer Nathan Followill and his brother and the band's bassist Jared were very vocal on Twitter when it came to backing Wrexham AFC.

Both congratulated the Reds on their success as they returned to the English Football League as National League champions last month.

Following the gigs at the weekend, Nathan Tweeted out a plea to the club's co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
