A TALENTED Wrexham boy has brilliantly drawn the Reds' star co-owners and goalie ahead of today's match.
Dylan Hughes, 12, produced masterful drawings of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, as well as Ben Foster.
The Darland High School pupil, from Borras, has been drawing since he was aged just three.
His mum, Emma-Jane, said: "He used to get up at 5am every morning and draw! He’s created some other beauties over the years. His favourite footballer was always Sergio Aguero and he always drew him. He’s drawn many other footballers and designed many football boots, too."
Emma-Jane added: "Myself and his dad, Chris, are incredibly proud of his efforts and skill. He spends hours producing the fine detail, choosing and mixing colours carefully to get every bit of his pieces perfect. He is absolutely chuffed to bits with the number of ‘likes’ he’s had on Wrexham Town Matters.
"He would especially love Ryan, Rob and Ben Foster to see them."
