Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham, has hinted at the possibility of Gareth Bale coming out of retirement to join the club.
Following their promotion to League Two last week, Reynolds has added fuel to the transfer speculation by posting a photoshopped image of Bale celebrating in a Wrexham kit.
The Wales legend, who retired in January after the Qatar World Cup, earlier this week sent a congratulations message to Reynolds’ partner Rob McElhenney.
McElhenney responded with a hint at “one last magical season”.
Bale did not shut down the idea, replying “Depends what course…”.
Reynolds jokingly promised to shave a golf course into McElhenney’s back if Bale played for Wrexham.
