“Top Goalkeeper Still at His Age” – Days After Verbal Offer to Ben Foster, Ryan Reynolds Receives Transfer Update From Wrexham Coach

Players like Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer have propelled Wrexham to the moon. They are some of the vital assets that made the promotion dream possible. Ben Foster, too, arrived with much fanfare and helped the club in crucial moments of the season. However, his future remains unclear because of the other finer details which go into squad building. The co-owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, expressed their desire to keep him at the club after verbally agreeing on a contract with him. Shortly after, the club’s first team coach gave an update regarding his future. 

The goalkeeper stepped in for the Red Dragons after their first-choice goalkeeper, Rob Lainton, got injured. From that point on, the goalkeeper delivered stunning performances to keep the soccer club at the top of the National League standings. 

Wrexham looks to extend Ben Foster’s contract!

According to the Manchester Evening News, Wrexham’s first team coach and reserve manager, David Jones, mentioned his future. He stated, “With Ben, I don’t know what he plans to do next year and what the plans for the club are, but he’s a top goalkeeper still at his age. It is for the club and Ben to decide what the situation is there, but we want the strongest squad and despite being here for a short time, Ben was a massive part of that.”

The sensational Foster made a crucial penalty save in the last minute of their title-decider match against Notts County. And the game ended with a victory for Wrexham by a scoreline of 3-2. The veteran keeper’s contract ended at the end of this campaign, but the owners took their call on the matter.

It happened after the season as Foster and Ryan were involved in an engulfing conversation. Thus, Ben might stay for one more year after all. 

“We’ll do it again this year” was all that Ryan Reynolds wanted to hear

The club celebrated well during their title celebrations, and Reynolds described how he did it all before. Foster acknowledged that question and explained how they could repeat it next year. After hearing this, Reynolds mentioned, “Alright, that’s a contract. He said, ‘We’ll do it again next year.’ That’s it done. That is as good as gold. You just verbally signed.”

The signing of Foster would be necessary for the club, as he can provide valuable experience to the squad. He is a former Manchester United goalkeeper and will know what it is like to handle the massive leagues in England. Therefore, things are looking outstanding for Wrexham as they look to receive back-to-back promotions.
