Ryan Reynolds offers £250,000 bonus in case of promotion

owners

Ryan Reynolds

and

Rob McElhenney

will pay their players £250,000 if they manage to promote from the National League.

Executive director Humphrey Ker told the

:

“Rob and Ryan wanted to recognise the players’ confidence that they can reach this season’s play-offs and provide an added financial incentive to achieve this.

“There was no obligation to address this, but it felt like the right thing to do in order to support the existing playing squad who are all playing for their futures at the club.

“With the transfer window shut, we all need to get behind this group of players and Rob and Ryan wanted to be at the forefront, demonstrating their support.

“We have talked already about next season and the recruitment of new players.

“The current players are in the best place to stake their own claim to be part of the club’s journey.

There won’t be any contract discussions with the existing senior squad until the end of the season, which is another reason we thought it was right to put the incentive scheme in place for the current players.”

Wrexham player Shaun Pearson has also talked about the matter:

“We are thankful for the incentive being put to us from Rob and Ryan. We believe as a group we have an opportunity to get into the play-offs, and hopefully achieve what everybody involved in the club wants – a return to the Football League.

“The takeover has brought exciting times for the whole club, the town and the community and we want to bring more excitement through our achievements on the pitch too.”
