Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in tears amid wild Wrexham scenes

Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were in tears after the Welsh side finally won promotion back to the Football League amid joyous scenes.

Fans poured onto the pitch at the final whistle, while the Hollywood owners tearfully looked on at the scenes unfolding in front of them.

The pair embraced at the final whistle, with McElhenney captured by TV cameras crying as the enormity of the achievement hit him.

They were joined in the stands by actor Paul Rudd as well as many of the locals they have formed a special bond with.

Reynolds and McElhenney have taken Wrexham to their hearts since buying the club in November, 2020. They narrowly missed out on promotion last season but finally got the job done after ploughing investment into the team.

Club accounts show they have already lost more than £3 million of their own money backing the club.
