Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have officially completed their takeover of fifth-tier Wrexham.
The pair have taken 100% control of the National League side from the Wrexham Supporters Trust.
Reynolds and McElhenney have made a £2 million investment in the club under the terms of the deal.
Reflecting the completion of the move, Deadpool star Reynolds changed his name on Twitter to Wryan and McElhenney renamed himself as Wrob.
A statement from Reynolds and McElhenney read: “It is a special day for the two of us to become the latest stewards in the long and storied history of Wrexham AFC.
“Together with the players, the staff, the fans, and the local community, we can now pursue our goal to grow the team and return it to the EFL in front of increased attendances, and in an improved stadium, while making a positive difference to the wider community in Wrexham.”
Wrexham, who sit seventh in the National League - 12 points off the top, saw their promotion odds shorten from 33/1 to 25/1 with Sky Bet.
Odds correct at 1715 GMT (10/02/21)
