The proprietors of Wrexham AFC’s women’s team have applied to participate in the Adran Premier League Division beginning next season. And it appears that Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds is all prepared, as he announced the news on Twitter.
Promotion to the top tier of the Welsh women’s pyramid will only be confirmed once a license to play in the top flight is obtained. Last season, Wrexham’s ownership ruled against applying after finishing second to Adran North winners Llandudno.
