Josh Windass pays tribute to 'genuine fellas' Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney for 'personal' approach at Wrexham

Windass was part of a busy summer at Wrexham as owners Reynolds and McElhenney sought to strengthen the squad following promotion to the Championship. The 31-year-old arrived on a free transfer after leaving Sheffield Wednesday.

Windass featured in Wrexham's first three matches of the new 2025-26 but suffered a blow as he was then ruled out with a hamstring injury. The new signing has revealed the club's owners were quick to get in touch after he suffered the setback and has admitted he likes their personal approach.

He told The Star: "They're great guys. They both sent me a little text after I got injured and that, which is a nice touch. They're really personal and you wouldn't think Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds when you speak to him, he's just the nicest guy. They ask about my family and stuff, nothing about football, they're just genuine fellas.

“They've been winning non-stop for three years and now to get here where the next step is the promised land as they say. If I can do that it would be great. I've been trying to do that in the last few years with Wednesday but obviously it wasn't to be. I've come here and there's a group that has had so many millions on them to give it a crack, that's what I'm here for.”

Windass remains sidelined through injury but is expected to return in the coming weeks. Wrexham's next fixture is against QPR on Saturday in the Championship.
