Rob McElhenney has heaped special praise on a Wrexham 'hero' who doesn't seek out the limelight following the club's promotion to League Two.

Wrexham secured their return to the EFL after a 15-year absence following their 3-1 victory over Boreham Wood last weekend.

Hollywood owners McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, naturally, have garnered plenty of praise following their takeover in 2021.

Not to mention Paul Mullin, who has scored a staggering 47 goals in all competitions, including 38 goals in the National League.

But McElhenney has highlighted a 'hero' who doesn't seek out the limelight in the wake of Wrexham's promotion.

He's singled out the club's CEO Fleur Robinson, who joined from Burton Albion and has been instrumental in a number of commercial deals.

She got the Welsh club on FIFA 22 and navigated the hit documentary 'Welcome to Wrexham', which has helped increase the club's profile across the world.

After Wrexham beat Boreham Wood, she tweeted: "CHAMPIONS. Many congratulations to our amazing men's first team on achieving our promotion dream. A special moment to savour for our club, our fans, our community and the whole of North Wales. Dreams do come true."

McElhenney swiftly responded: "She doesn’t seek out the limelight but @fleurrobo is a hero in this story.

"If you enjoyed this run I hope you understand that it would not have happened without her.

"Please join me in showing her the love she deserves. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING FLEUR."

Robinson moved to Wrexham after Reynolds and McElhenney acquired the club.

Speaking after her arrival at the Racecourse Ground, the Deadpool star said: "Fleur’s enthusiasm just shone through and having successfully navigated the journey to the EFL from the National League, she was able to offer us something different but exceptionally relevant."

The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor added: "Fleur will be a great leader for Wrexham. Her commitment to placing the club at the centre of the community and experience in doing so was exceptionally attractive when you consider the importance we place on that area in our mission statement."
