Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham takes step nearer to promotion with 2-0 win over Mansfield

Wrexham, the fourth-tier Welsh group co-owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, took a step towards one other promotion with a 2-0 victory over Mansfield

WREXHAM, Wales — Wrexham, the fourth-tier Welsh group co-owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, took a step towards one other promotion with a 2-0 victory over Mansfield on Friday.

Talismanic ahead Paul Mullin scored each targets — ending from a cross within the first half and changing a penalty within the 67th minute — earlier than 12,494 followers on the Racecourse Floor stadium.

Wrexham stays third in League Two tied on factors with Mansfield, which is second on purpose distinction. Stockport beat Forest Inexperienced 3-0 to maneuver into first place, one level clear.

The highest three groups on the finish of the season are mechanically promoted and the following 4 enter a playoff for one final promotion spot. Wrexham has six video games remaining.

Wrexham was adrift when Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney purchased the little-known membership for $2.5 million in 2021.

Final April, they clinched the Nationwide League title to get again into the English Soccer League — the three divisions under the Premier League — for the primary time in 15 years.

The Hollywood stars have invested closely within the membership by way of loans — the membership’s monetary stories this week present that they are owed greater than $11 million.

Reynolds and McElhenney’s adventures as soccer group house owners have been chronicled of their present “Welcome to Wrexham.”
