‘I love this guy’: Ryan Reynolds hails Wrexham’s Ben Foster after shock retirement



Reyonds, who co-owns the club with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney, tweeted: “He built memories I’ll never let go of for as long as I live. I love this guy. Thank you for everything, Ben.”

Foster, who has eight England caps to his name, first hung up his gloves in September 2022 when his contract at Watford expired and they were relegated to the Championship.

It was a career that began with Foster playing for RC Warwick and then Stoke back in 2001, and in the 22 years since he has played for a number of clubs including Manchester United. His return to Watford in 2018 marked his second spell with the Hornets.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: “Ben has been the model professional while at Wrexham and has done everything we have asked of him.

“It takes a big person to make the decision he has and one who really understands this Football Club, with the timing of his decision.

“Wrexham AFC was a better place for having Ben Foster around the Club.”
