A COMMUNITY football club in Wrexham are reaping the rewards of the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's impact on the city. 

The Hollywood pair took over Wrexham AFC in 2021 and have since transformed the fortunes of the club on and off the pitch. 

Back-to-back promotions have seen the Reds rise from the National League to League One, while off the pitch they have become a global force. 

The hit docu-series Welcome to Wrexham has played a huge role in the club's interest skyrocketing, with new found interest across the world. 

As a result, there is a new-found spotlight on Wrexham as a whole, many businesses are gaining more interest, with tourism and hospitality receiving a huge boost.

Bellevue FC are one of many benefitting from the interest in the city following Rob and Ryan's takeover. 

The club, who were on the lookout for sponsors for the upcoming season were contacted in April by a new Wrexham company called Tercero.  
 
Having watched Welcome to Wrexham the company founder, from Tennessee, fell in love with Wrexham, and in doing so learned more about the city and founded Tercero - a property redevelopment firm focused on Wrexham City Centre.
 
The club have now announced that for the 2024/25 season, Tercero will be the sponsor of 4 Bellevue FC kits.

Club Trustee Evrah Rose said: "In watching the news or spending time on social media, it’s easy to feel like the whole world is divided-so it’s great to be able to share this good news story about how our local inclusive team has been helped not only financially, but also in discovering that despite our new friends being over 4,000 miles away, they share our values, respect and belief in what we are doing."

Delwyn 'Sheep' Derrick, the founder of Bellevue FC added; "This is a huge moment in our clubs story. We can say with some certainty that there won't be end of season trips to Las Vegas, or preseason tours of the United States, but this collaboration is about showing that even with an ocean between us, we are one club, one people and we are united.

"If you'd have told me eight years ago that I'd be here today commenting on our new sponsor, I'd have laughed for a week, but this is the true Rob and Ryan effect, the things you don't see on the documentary that genuinely change lives. We are humbled and incredibly grateful to Tercero."
