Ryan Reynolds bags huge Wrexham FC sponsorship deal with high street giant
It marks the first time the chain has partnered with a football league side
HOLLYWOOD star Ryan Reynolds has bagged an M&S meal deal — with the chain sponsoring his football club.
Wrexham AFC announced a three-year partnership with M&S Food which will see it support community initiatives.
The news comes after The Sun told this week that Ryan voices a talking reindeer mitten in one of its Christmas ads, alongside the League Two side’s co-owner, fellow actor Rob McElhenney.
Ryan, 47, declared: “Our partnership with M&S Food is important to Rob and I, due to its established history with Wrexham and its commitment to supporting the local community.
“The connection we have to the club and its supporters is something we’re deeply proud of.
“It’s essential we partner with a brand who understands the broader goals for the community as a whole and is committed to making positive changes.”
It is the first time M&S has partnered a league side, after sponsoring the UK’s four national teams.
A Wrexham spokesman said: “With a new M&S Food opening in Wrexham on the 1st December, we look forward to creating a partnership with a company with a community who share our broader goals for the community and make a positive difference together.”
