As Wrexham AFC pursues a third promotion in a row, two key players have shared an unexpected request they have for owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney should they achieve their target.
Since the Hollywood duo took over the Welsh club in early 2021, Wrexham has enjoyed a remarkable rise from the National League to League One in just two seasons.
Currently, the team has its sights set on a Championship promotion for the first time in over two decades.
Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee, two standout performers last season, were recently honored with spots in the PFA League Two Team of the Year.
During their presence at the Professional Footballers’ Association event in Manchester, the pair was asked about their desired reward from Reynolds and McElhenney in case they secure another promotion this season.
Mullin jokingly suggested a less extravagant but equally memorable prize: “Back to Butlins, we’ll go to Butlins this time so that everyone stops speaking about it.”
This light-hearted comment referenced the team’s widely publicized celebratory trip to Las Vegas earlier in the summer, a gift from their Hollywood owners after clinching promotion to League Two.
