Wrexham star Andy Cannon confirms season-ending surgery and sends thanks to Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as he vows to 'come back even stronger'

Cannon suffered a knee injury and had to be stretchered off during Wrexham's 2-1 win over Mansfield Town in League One last Sunday. On Tuesday, the club confirmed that the player met with a specialist and will now undergo surgery on his ruptured ACL next week. As the midfielder's season ended on a tragic note, he took to social media and thanked club owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and also vowed to come back stronger.

On Instagram, Cannon wrote: "Not the end to the season I envisaged, but sadly, I have ruptured my ACL and will undergo surgery next week. I have been overwhelmed by the care and support I have received from family, friends, all the staff at @wrexham_afc the owners @vancityreynolds @robmcelhenney my teammates, all our medical team and of course, our incredible fans. My recovery will take time and patience but I’m determined to come back even stronger. I’ll be cheering on the lads and wishing for a successful end to the season and I’ll see you all at the STōK Cae Ras soon."

The 28-year-old joined the Red Dragons in 2022 and has been an integral part of the teams that gained back-to-back promotions to League One. In the 2024/25 campaign, Cannon has appeared in 28 matches across all competitions and has scored four goals. His injury comes as a major blow for the Welsh side, who are aiming to gain another promotion to the Championship.

While the midfield star awaits his surgery, Phil Parkinson's side are next in action in the semi-final of the Football League Trophy on Wednesday at home to Peterborough United.
