Ryan Reynolds agrees to play in goal for Wrexham after injuries to three goalkeepers

Ryan Reynolds is a Hollywood icon but he's now set for the biggest role of his life - by playing in goal for Wrexham.The club's co-owner has sensationally agreed to line up between the sticks for their FA Trophy semi-final against Stockport County on Saturday.

The Dragons, who compete in the National League, are in crisis following injuries to all three of their first-team goalkeepers.

First choice Rob Lainton is out for the season, with Christian Dibble also struggling and new signing Lee Camp not match fit.With the transfer window now closed, the Dragons cannot sign a replacement due to rules governing a Welsh team playing in the English league pyramid - and have to look at people who already have contracts with the club.And with the situation looking desperate, boss Phil Parkinson got his thinking cap on double lively and came up with the clever proposal of recruiting Reynolds, the club's co-owner since February 2021 - and a keen ice hockey goalkeeper while growing up in Canada.Co-owner and fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney is not not being considered for a first-team call up as he's nursing a groin injury.Boss Parkinson told baffled reporters: "When Ryan came over for a recent visit we put him through his paces during a training session.

His Ice Hockey reflexes are unreal. His movement blew me away."And the actor himself, 45, exclusively told Daily Star Sport: "It's now April and we can't sign any more players, so I'd be a fool not to want to play."Sure, being in Hollywood films and playing superheroes like Deadpool is fun.
