Ryan Reynolds pays tribute after death of Joey Jones
Hollywood A-lister Reynolds posted a picture on Instagram of himself and fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney alongside Jones.
'I'm really glad I got to spend time with you,' wrote Reynolds, who completed his takeover of the club with McElhenney in 2021.
'Thanks for the stories. Condolences to his family, friends and Mickey (Thomas, Jones' close friend and former Wrexham team-mate). Rest up, Joey. Big second half coming up.'
Jones, who was capped 72 times by Wales, began his career with Wrexham in 1973 before moving to Liverpool, where he won two European Cups and a league title, two years later.
He returned to play at the Racecourse Ground between 1978 and 1982 and then ended his career with the club – from 1987 to 1992 – following stints with Chelsea and Huddersfield.

Newcastle ‘favourites to be RELEGATED' after agreeing to Aaron Ramsdale transfer as Toon fans fear goalkeeper's ‘curse'
FANS fear Newcastle are the favourites to be relegated after they reportedly agreed a deal to sign Aaron Ramsdale. The Magpies have had a difficult transfer window after missing out on top target Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool, with key man Alexander Isak announcing his desire to leave. 1 They also failed to sign their first-choice goalkeeper James Trafford, who returned to Manchester City from Burnley. So Newcastle have now agreed a deal to sign Ramsdale on loan which includes an option to buy, according to The Athletic. Ramsdale was No1 at Arsenal between 2021 and 2024 but fans fear for Newcastle because he has four relegations on his CV. His most recent came at Southampton last season, while he also finished in the Premier League bottom three with Sheffield United and Bournemouth. Another relegation came early in his career while on loan in League Two with Chesterfield. After his latest drop fans were quick to declare that 'the curse is real '. One said: 'Relegationdale.' Another added: 'Ramsdale curse is real I'm afraid.' Newcastle's capture of Ramsdale could reportedly lead Manchester United to launch a bid for Nick Pope. He is out of contract next summer so could prove an affordable option for the Red Devils, who will be without No1 Andre Onana for the start of the season due to injury.

Stefan Bajcetic to Celtic transfer swirl already has answer after Liverpool 'contact'
Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for new recruits with the new league season just days away Celtic could already have their answer on a deal for Stefan Bajcetic after Liverpool have reportedly made the midfielder available on loan. The 20-year-old spent time out at Red Bull Salzburg and Las Palmas last term but has returned to the Premier League champions this summer. The Spaniard appears unlikely to land a run in the team under Arne Slot and The Athletic report several clubs have shown an interest in the defensive-minded midfielder - with the club open to a temporary exit. Several outlets claim that "initial contact" has been made by Celtic over a potential deal to bring Bajcetic to Glasgow's east end. And potential suitors are likely to already know the answer to any approach - with the midfielder in a similar spot to last summer when Red's boss Slot threw open the exit door at Anfield. He said at the time: "I think he could become a very important player for us, but only if he gets playing time. 'If you are that young the only thing you need is playing time. We think it's best for him to play at the moment, instead of maybe playing a few times and then being on the bench for a long time again. 'Again, this club has been smart, in my opinion, for not only looking for the short term but also the long term." Record Sport understands at least one winger, a midfielder and a main striker remain top of Brendan Rodgers' wish list. Alongside the start of the league season against St Mirren this weekend, Rodgers and his recruitment team also have to consider the upcoming Champions League qualifiers. Celtic have until midnight on Thursday, August 14 to register players for the play-off. UEFA rules allow two late additions to the 25-man squad until the day before the first leg on August 19/20.
