A New Era for Wrexham AFC
THE REMARKABLE RISE OF WREXHAM AFC
In the world of football, fairy tales still exist, and Wrexham AFC’s return to the Football League after 15 years is living proof. At the heart of this Cinderella story are two vital elements: the club’s transformation under the ownership of actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and the heroics of Paul Mullin, a striker whose performance was pivotal in the team’s promotion. Wrexham AFC’s journey required resilience. When fans in the form of the Wrexham Supporters’ Trust took control of the organization in 2011 following financial struggles, they set the stage for the club’s comeback. The revival gained momentum in 2021 thanks to the $2.5 million investment of Reynolds and McElhenney. Their vision was not just tied to their financial input; it was about keeping the club rooted in the community in Wales. And thanks to their work, crowds once numbered in the hundreds now roar with thousands of passionate fans.
Amidst the transformation, Mullin emerged as the team’s talisman. His 38 league goals, including crucial strikes in the decisive game against Boreham Wood, were instrumental in sealing Wrexham’s promotion. Mullin’s journey reflects the club’s own — filled with determination and a relentless pursuit of success. His scoring propelled the team to new heights and reignited the spirits of a town that breathes football. The streets of Wrexham, once quiet, now resonate with the cheers of red. Pubs packed, the atmosphere electric, and the community united — the impact of Wrexham’s success transcending beyond the field. It’s a story that captures the essence of football: the unifying power of a team’s triumph, the joy it brings to its supporters, and the realization of dreams long lost. Reynolds and McElhenney’s presence in the stands, alongside the fans, epitomizes the club’s journey. Their emotional investment
and Mullin’s on-field heroics have written a new chapter in Wrexham’s history.
“The takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been surreal, but they seem genuinely sincere. They don’t just seem to be here to make a documentary and leave after two years … There’s been more good press coming out of Wrexham recently than there has been for decades — how could you not be happy with that?” Joe Gill, 34, a fan from Nantwich, England, told The Guardian.
