Ryan Reynolds making moves! Wrexham owner extends invite to Canada’s all-time leading goalscorer Christine Sinclair ahead of proposed retirement plans

Striker Sinclair will call time on a glittering international career on Tuesday against Australia in Vancouver. The 40-year-old has scored 190 goals for Canada, a period in which she has led her country to three Olympic medals - including gold at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games. Ahead of that momentous retirement, Wrexham co-owner and compatriot Reynolds mused whether the Portland Thorns icon would consider linking up with Wrexham Women, who sit second in Wales' top-flight women's league, the Adran Premier.

When Sinclair was being interviewed by CBC, a video from Reynolds said: "Moving on in your career to Wrexham, it's huge for the town, the club. I think that you are going to be probably the key difference maker going forward up there in North Wales."

Caught off guard a little, Sinclair played along and quipped: "For the right amount of money I could go," whilst adding she loved his Welcome to Wrexham show as well as Reynolds' gin, Aviation American Gin.

Reynolds continued: "What I really wanted to do is thank you. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me, my kids, kids all over Canada and the world, young, old, middle-aged. You're incredible and you deserve all the applause that hands could possibly give. Sending you tons of love."

Sinclair is a legend in Canadian sport and her final match on Tuesday is expected to draw in more than 40,000 at BC Place, which which will be re-named Sinclair Place for the day. She will have likely encouraged many young girls to get into the sport and try to emulate her unprecedented success.

Sinclair will consider her next steps in life after her retirement from the game in the coming days. It seems there is an offer for her to be at Wrexham in some capacity from fellow Vancouver native Reynolds.
