Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have welcomed New York-based Allyn family as new minority investors in the League One club.
In a joint statement, the Hollywood actor duo said: “Wrexham
has earned the world’s attention and we are focused on bringing on board
world-class partners to help with the next phase of our growth.
Based in Skaneateles, New York, the Allyns made their
fortune through Welch Allyn, the global manufacturer of medical equipment.
By selling an equity stake to the Allyn family, Reynolds and
McElhenney have brought in welcome funds at a time when the ambitious League
One club is embarking on several major infrastructure projects as well as
looking to maintain the upwards trajectory that has seen Phil Parkinson’s side
win back-to-back promotions.
A state-of-the-art Kop stand is planned that will partly be
funded by public money, Wrexham having last week appointed a new architect in
Populous with a view to the new structure being open in time for the summer of
2026.
Wrexham are also looking to build a new training ground,
while a new academy is also in the pipeline at Darland School after formal
plans were unveiled in September.
