THE impact Wrexham AFC's Hollywood owners have had on the area has been hailed as 'incredible' by Phil Parkinson. 

The Reds boss, speaking ahead of their friendly against Manchester United tomorrow (July 26), has been full of praise for co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. 

The Deadpool star, and the Always Sunny creator took over Wrexham in 2021 and have transformed the fortunes of the club. 

Promotion back to the Football League was achieved in record-breaking fashion last year, with a return to League Two less than two weeks away. 

The Reds are currently midway through their pre-season tour of America, with Rob and wife Kaitlin watching the 4-0 win over LA Galaxy over the weekend.

Co-owner Ryan is currently busy filming Deadpool 3 back in the UK, Parkinson revealed, who went on to discuss the impact the pair have had on the town.

He said: “For the area (of Wrexham), the positivity is incredible and the way that the success of the football club and the profile of the club has raised the spirits in Wrexham has been great to be a part of.

“Long may that continue because a team which is winning lifts an area and obviously, more importantly, Rob and Ryan what they’re doing in terms of putting things in place for the structure of the club going forward is equally as important as winning games of football on a Saturday afternoon.

“We all want to be part of success, but also want to be part of building a football club, which is strong for many years to come.”
