Ryan Reynolds sends Notts County poignant message as Wrexham owner gets his wish

Ryan Reynolds sent National League rivals Notts County a congratulatory message after they joined Wrexham in sealing promotion to League Two.

The Red Dragons and Magpies fought a tightly-contested league campaign which saw them both rack up 100 points, only for the Welsh team to edge the championship with a couple of games to spare.

It left County in the play-offs and on a dramatic day at Wembley they earned their place in the fourth tier of English football after twice coming from behind to eventually beat Chesterfield on penalties.

The Magpies left it late once again, like they did against Boreham Wood in the semi-finals, which only added to the suspense.

Reynolds wrote on Twitter: "Congratulations@Official_NCFC!!!! What a game, what a season, what heart. We will see you in the EFL next."

In a follow-up tweet he also paid tribute to the club's former CEO Jason Turner, who passed away earlier this year.

"And huge love to the family, friends and loved ones of Jason Turner."

Wrexham co-owner Reynolds had gone on record after his side sealed the title, saying he believed two should ascend to League Two from the National League.

"I'm not sure I can actually process what happened tonight," he said the night they achieved promotion. "I'm a little speechless. One thing that has been running through my head is people who asked 'why Wrexham?'. This is why. What is happening now is why Wrexham.

"Huge credit to Boreham Wood tonight. Also, this entire story, the reason we're sitting on the edge of our seat right now is because Notts County is so damn good as well. They deserve to go up

"It's something Rob (McElhenney) and I feel quite strongly about. We are rooting for Notts County. We want to see them go up to League Two and face them next year. They're incredible."

After their win over Boreham in the semis, Reynolds liked and retweeted a number of Notts County posts, including footage of the winning strike.

Wrexham and Notts County will now lock horns again in League Two next season.
