Wrexham

<p>The presence of two Hollywood superstars in North Wales is of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-tax-wrexham-charged-more-transfers-phil-parkinson-reacts-inflated-fees-recruitment-update/blt815e966be4373c64" target="_blank">obvious appeal to potential new recruits</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Wrexham have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-what-wrexham-explain-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-completing-transfers-phil-parkinson-role-hollywood-stars/blt0df1cb4fc7e27918" target="_blank">completed shrewd business</a> across recent windows, with that theme continuing in 2024.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Parkinson is hoping for more movement before the next deadline, telling <a href="https://www.leaderlive.co.uk/sport/24451445.wrexham-completed-three-new-signings-come/ " target="_blank"><em>The Leader</em></a> of efforts to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-splash-cash-wrexham-want-few-more-players-busy-summer-transfer-window/blt6f8884b939f9fe02" target="_blank">get the right additions for famous co-owners</a>: “We are working on one or two things. There is still work to be done in the squad before the season starts, everybody knows that, but I am very pleased with the lads we have brought in so far. They are really strong additions to what we have got and as ever, we are trying to select the players which we feel are right for this group and the club. That is a careful selection process because this is quite a unique club to be at for many reasons and I want to make sure that the ones who come in with us are going to integrate quickly with the group but also add something.”</p>

WHAT PARKINSON SAID

<p>Wrexham are preparing to head off on another pre-season tour of North America, which will take them to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-minivan-promise-wrexham-vancouver-trip-director-jokes-hollywood-co-owner-transport-duty-home-town/blt20c7f565f8c25dfc" target="_blank">the west coast of the United States and Canada</a>. Paul Mullin will play no part in that trip after undergoing surgery, but fresh faces are being eased into the fold <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/elliot-lee-join-paul-mullin-missing-wrexham-north-america-tour-injury-update-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-red-dragons/blta22d156793074007" target="_blank">alongside established promotion-winning stars</a>.</p>
