Wrexham A.F.C.'s former striker Steven Fletcher has labelled Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds as the most 'hands-on' owners he has ever had. The 39-year-old enjoyed a successful playing career, which came to an end last summer when he retired following his release by Wrexham. Fletcher was part of two promotion campaigns during his time at The Racecourse, helping the Reds go up from League Two to the Championship. He made 73 league appearances and scored 16 goals - eight in each season - and earned a reputation as a super sub when he was brought on by Phil Parkinson. Fans' favourite Fletcher had nothing but good things to say about Hollywood stars Reynolds and McElhenney. Whilst speaking on quiz show series Call Yourself A Fan?, ex-Scotland international Fletcher said: 'I’ve been in football for 22 years and them two are the most hands-on owners I’ve ever had.' Fletcher spent time with McElhenney away from football, playing golf with him. The pair are unbeaten as a golfing duo. Following Fletcher's departure 12 months ago, Wrexham emerged as play-off contenders this season and eventually finished seventh in the second tier, just two points away from a top-six finish. The quest to reach the Premier League for the first time in the club's history came to an end but Fletcher believes Wrexham can make it to the top-flight under the A-listers. 'The ambition of the club is to reach the Premier League,' he added. Fletcher thinks the biggest challenge is to get to the Premier League and is hopeful they will achieve it. Wrexham's owners have been praised by many for their involvement in the club. Reynolds and McElhenney have been spotted at various Wrexham matches, showing their support for the team. Fletcher's comments will be welcomed by Wrexham fans, who are eager to see their team succeed. With the owners' support and the team's determination, Wrexham A.F.C. could be on their way to the Premier League soon. The club's progress has been impressive, and they will be looking to build on this in the upcoming season. Fletcher's experience at Wrexham has been positive, and he has praised the owners for their involvement. The future looks bright for Wrexham A.F.C., and fans will be hoping for a successful season ahead.
