World Cup star offers himself to Wrexham as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney sent 'exciting' message

Wrexham have a huge chance to bring a World Cup footballer to the club.

Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been handed a huge opportunity after a World Cup footballer has offered himself to the club.

After securing back-to-back promotions from the National League to League One, Wrexham are hoping to make it three in a row and join the Championship next season.

The Red Dragons have proved doubters wrong by getting off to an impressive start in the third division, claiming seven wins and three draws from 12 games.

And, after manager Phil Parkinson confirmed that the Red Dragons would explore free agent market, a former World Cup player has offered his services to the club.

Wales international Joe Morrell, who represented his country at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, has admitted that the opportunity to play for an exciting team like Wrexham is very appealing.

Speaking on the Feast of Football podcast from BBC Sport, Morrell said: "Wrexham is obviously an exciting club at the minute.

"I think in the Football League there are not many more exciting projects than Wrexham, and to play for a Welsh club is something that I would love to do at some point as well.

"But to be fair I don’t think that they need much help at the minute, so maybe they are not in the market for a midfielder. But if they were, it would definitely be something that I would be interested in."

The 27-year-old midfielder has earned 37 senior caps for the Welsh international team including the matches against England and the USA at the 2022 World Cup.

At club level, Morrell is has a wealth of experience in League One with 121 caps, but has also played in the Championship with Bristol City and Luton Town.

The Welshman departed previous club Portsmouth following the expiration of his three-year contract over the summer, having made 92 appearances for the club.

However, it remains unlikely that he will be joining Wrexham anytime soon, with the Red Dragons set to target out of contract strikers to replace injured duo Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher.

Additionally, reports have suggested that the Welsh side have already signed a new midfielder in recent weeks, making a move for Morrell doubtful.
