The next few months are littered with small delights for Wrexham fans. While they continue to enjoy the side’s presence in the fourth division, excitement also surrounds the new season of their documentary, Welcome to Wrexham. In fact, the upcoming series recently got a special endorsement from Hollywood star, Hugh Jackman.
Just like Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Jackman has also sat in the stands to watch the Red Dragons play. He even witnessed the third-oldest soccer club end their 15-year exile in a humbling fashion. To support his Hollywood buddies, the Wolverine star fired off a seven-word response to the second season of the documentary.

Reynolds and McElhenney attended the team’s significant match and were accompanied by Jackman. Both co-owners were confident that their beloved club would easily clinch a victory against MK Dons. However, it turned out quite the opposite as they lost the opener for their League Two campaign, 5-3. Although the outcome left fans somewhat disappointed, the co-star of Deadpool 3 departed with a cheerful expression.
