Wrexham has been on a roll right now. The side had a brilliant campaign in their pre-season tour of the United States with 2 wins in 4 games. Although owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been the driving force for the club off the field, skipper Ben Tozer has been a cornerstone for the team on the field.
Ben Tozer, despite his recent struggles of losing his father, has been a true pillar for the team. The Wrexham defender took to his social media account as he shared a heartwarming post on what would be his father’s 60th birthday. Owner Ryan Reynolds was one of the first people to react as he took his time to appreciate the gesture made by the defender.
