On Tuesday, Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, made a major announcement: the signing of 27-year-old Eoghan O’Connell, a center-back who played for Charlton Athletic. The Irish defender made 22 appearances for the EFL League One side this season. Other football clubs usually present this news in a professional manner but Wrexham did so in an unusual way with the help of their owners.
Ryan Reynolds makes the announcement in a hilarious fashion
To welcome their new signing, Reynolds and McElhenney took to Twitter to share a video. In typical Reynolds fashion, the announcement was made in a hilarious video. In the clip, Reynolds can be seen struggling to pronounce Eoghan’s name, making various mistakes. While Rob, who is also of Irish descent gives him pointers and helps him get it right.

The video ends with Reynolds completely butchering the Irish defender’s name. The video is an excellent showcase of the Deadpool star’s amazing sense of humor. It also shows their commitment to the team and its fans, something that is sure to endear them even more to the Wrexham community.
Fans excited about the announcement of the new signing
This latest announcement has only added to the excitement surrounding the Hollywood duo’s involvement with the club, which has seen some good results since they took over in 2021.
