Wrexham transfer target? Ryan Reynolds' & Rob McElhenney's stance on Portsmouth's Joe Rafferty revealed

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-say-wrexham-transfers-phil-parkinson-reveals-how-recruitment-works-hollywood-owners/bltff935dd8c9479a1d " target="_blank">preparing to make more funds available at SToK Racecourse</a> this summer, with the Hollywood superstars having done their best throughout a three-year reign to ensure that club boss Phil Parkinson has a highly-competitive squad.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rafferty was said to be a player in Wrexham’s sights, as it has been confirmed that the 30-year-old defender – who has previously played in the Championship for Preston North End and just helped Pompey to the third-tier title in 2023-24 – will be released as a free agent when his contract expires.

DID YOU KNOW?

The <a href="https://twitter.com/RobRyanRed/status/1789934336629678342" target="_blank">RobRyanRed podcast</a> has, however, claimed: “Contrary to reports elsewhere, RRR understands Wrexham are not pursuing free agent Joe Rafferty. Wrexham have made it known they are in the market for an attacking wing-back this summer.”

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID?

With an approach for Rafferty seemingly off the table, Wrexham will be turning their attention elsewhere. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-let-eight-go-players-released-offered-new-contracts-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-phil-parkinson-league-one/blt7e73e24b1184c856" target="_blank">Eight players are being released by the Red Dragons</a>, freeing up space in their ranks, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-scupper-under-radar-transfer-plan-phil-parkinson-hopes-summer-window-wrexham/blt3e8f28b76f0c14b0" target="_blank">Parkinson has stated that recruitment business will not be rushed</a> as Reynolds and McElhenney play the long game.

Wrexham have been linked with a move for Joe Rafferty, ahead of his release by Portsmouth, but a switch to North Wales may not be on the cards.
