WREXHAM are about to play at one of America’s most iconic venues - and it’s an occasion Ryan Reynolds is looking forward to.
Co-owner Reynolds has been reflecting on the Reds’ third pre-season tour in America, which continues in the early hours of tomorrow morning with an eye-catching match-up with Liverpool, in New York.
The friendly will be played at Yankee Stadium, with Phil Parkinson’s side preparing for their second season back in the Championship.
Reynolds told ESPN: “It’s so far beyond pinch me. It’s like a punch me moment.
“I don’t know what to say about this. I mean, the fact that Wrexham is coming to America on their third trip, last of which being in 2024.
“But, we’re not only coming to America to play again in what has always been the most exhilarating and exciting thing to see live, but to do it with three Premier League teams in a row in Tampa, New York and Philly is pretty amazing.
“You know, to play Liverpool in Yankee Stadium with that kind of history and pedigree, I just don’t know what to make of it.
“I mean, we cannot wait to fill that stadium and watch the boys out there just do what they do best.
“I mean, it’s always so electric and, you know, the 165-year plus history of Wrexham has seen its fair share of giant-killings and, you know, Liverpool is as big as it gets, certainly on the world stage.”
Rob Mac, Wrexham co-owner alongside Reynolds, said: “We’ve been texting with quite a few of them and they’re champing at the bit to get out there and go and put on a show, and see if we can do something magical.”
Reds boss Phil Parkinson, meanwhile has confirmed that Wrexham are hoping to sign Crystal Palace defender Danny Imray (pictured above) this week.
“Danny’s a player we’ve been looking at very closely,” Parkinson told BBC Sport.
Imray, who was on loan at Blackpool and West Brom last season, played in Palace’s 3-0 friendly loss to Bromley over the weekend.
