How Wrexham's Rise Under Hollywood Ownership is Elevating Welsh Football

Craig Bellamy discusses how Wrexham's success under Hollywood owners is boosting Welsh football and the national team's profile.

Wrexham's Impact on Welsh Football

Craig Bellamy, the Wales national team manager, has expressed his admiration for Wrexham's remarkable journey under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Since their takeover in February 2021, Wrexham has experienced three consecutive promotions, culminating in their current position in the Sky Bet Championship.

Strengthening the National Team

Bellamy believes that Wrexham's success is beneficial for Welsh football as a whole. The club's recent signings of Wales internationals Kieffer Moore, Danny Ward, and Nathan Broadhead are expected to enhance the national team's performance. Moore, in particular, has made an immediate impact with four goals in five games for Wrexham.

Player Development and National Pride

"I think we're all captivated by the journey of Wrexham," Bellamy said. "It's been amazing for Welsh football, and hopefully, in a number of years, we'll see young players coming through." He emphasized that the success of Welsh clubs like Swansea, Newport, Cardiff, and Wrexham is crucial for the nation's footballing strength.

Kieffer Moore's Enthusiasm

Moore, who joined Wrexham from Sheffield United for £2 million, is thrilled to be part of the club's historic rise. "I've been following it all the way, it's been a monumental rise, and now to be part of it is incredible," he said. Moore believes that the Welsh connection at Wrexham can only be a positive thing for creating partnerships on the field.

Looking Ahead

As Wrexham continues to make strides in the Championship, Bellamy is optimistic about the future. He sees the club's playing style as a perfect fit for Moore and is excited about Broadhead's potential to flourish with consistent game time. Bellamy is also pleased to see Ward overcoming his challenges and performing well for his new club.

Conclusion

Wrexham's rise under Hollywood ownership is not just a feel-good story but a significant boost for Welsh football. With the club's success, the national team is poised to benefit from the development of talented players and the increased profile of Welsh football on the international stage.
