Now he is taking his team to the United States to play in a one million dollar winner takes all tournament.
Since Reynolds bought the team they have skyrocketed to new heights. You can read all about the teams rise to fame and how they’ve soared through the ranks as of late here:
Now Reynolds is looking to take his team to the next level once again by entering them in “The Soccer Tournament” (TST).
The event will be held June 1st-4th in North Carolina and will host 32 teams. Wrexham is the ninth team to confirm their entry in the tournament so far.
This event will mark the first time ever that Wrexham will come to the United States, since the club was founded in 1864.
Club advisor Shaun Harvey shared his excitement of the team making the journey to the U.S:
“We look forward to debuting in the U.S. with a legends team and the ambition of winning the tournament,”
Harvey referred to a legends team, as the squad that plays will be mostly be made up of past players for the club:
“Wrexham AFC is more than just a first team, It represents the people of North Wales and this tournament will allow us to incorporate former players of the club like we have never been able to do before.”
Lets hope the underdogs that are Wrexham can get the job done and take home the cash prize!
