Wrexham AFC owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney join open top parade

Wrexham AFC owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds smiled and waved at adoring football fans as the club embarked on its victory tour today.

Thousands of fans from across the globe lined the streets of Wrexham in celebration of the football club winning the National League with a record total of 111 points. 

The Welsh club is marking its promotion to the fourth division of English football with an open top bus parade through the city.

The celebrity owners will then reportedly jet the team off to Las Vegas as a reward for winning the league. 

Reynolds and McElhenney were at the Racecourse Ground to join in on the wild celebrations when promotion was clinched with a 3-1 win over Boreham Wood last month.

Wrexham went head-to-head with their rivals Notts County last month and all but won the league after beating Luke Williams' side 3-2 thanks to Ben Foster's heroics in goal.

The Welsh club went on to secure their promotion with a win over Boreham Wood on Saturday - leaving owners Reynolds and McElhenney in tears. 

To celebrate their achievement, the Hollywood owners arranged a victory parade - which got underway at 6.15pm and saw the players head through the city for an hour before finishing up at the Racecourse Ground.

Thousands of fans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Phil Parkinson's men and the club's Hollywood owners. It is believed some fans even travelled from New Zealand and the USA for the occasion. 

Ahead of the parade, Wrexham AFC CEO Fleur Robinson said: 'It's been a huge effort by everybody, on the pitch and off it, and this is a great opportunity for us to thank the community of Wrexham for their incredible support.

'We are looking forward to commemorating a truly memorable and record-breaking season together.'

Wrexham Council's lead member for economy and regeneration, Cllr Nigel Williams said: 'I'm sure that people will be out in large numbers to show their support for both successful Wrexham champion teams, it will be a fantastic momentous occasion for Wrexham.

'I would encourage everyone attending to spread themselves out along the entire route to get a good view of the parade.'

The club, which was down on its luck before the takeover by Reynolds and McElhenney, has gone on to earn global interest.

The documentary 'Welcome to Wrexham' was streamed around the world and has made household names of players like Paul Mullin and manager Phil Parkinson.

But the drama on the field has also demanded attention, with Wrexham involved in some thrilling matches on the way to promotion, including a 3-2 win over closest rival Notts County last month.

Promotion ends the club's 15-year absence from the English Football League.

Wrexham has announced it will play the LA Galaxy II at Dignity Health Sports Park on July 22 as part of a summer tour in the United States. Games against Premier League teams Manchester United and Chelsea have also been scheduled.
