Ryan Reynolds minivan promise! Wrexham ready for Vancouver trip as director jokes Hollywood co-owner will be on transport duty in home town

The Red Dragons, fresh from touring the States in 2023, are heading back to North America for another round of pre-season friendly fixtures. One of those will take place in Canada, against MLS opposition, as the Welsh outfit pass through the home town of co-owner Reynolds.

There is no word as yet on whether Wrexham’s famous co-owners will be in the stands for a game against the Whitecaps on July 27, with it possible that Rob McElhenney will also make the trip to B.C. Place. Reynolds has, however, hinted at being around.

Wrexham director Humphrey Ker has said in The Star: “I hope Ryan is going to be there, because he’s promised to pick us all up from the airport in his uncle’s minivan. So if not, the team will be stranded at the airport.”

A visit to Canada will be used to help ready Phil Parkinson’s side for the 2024-25 campaign, as they prepare to take a step up into League One. Reynolds and McElhenney are currently in the process of making funds available for reinforcements to be made in the summer transfer window.
