**CONFIRMED: Wrexham Appoint Four New Directors to Board Following EFL Approval**
Wrexham AFC have officially expanded their boardroom, announcing the appointment of four new directors following approval from the English Football League (EFL). The decision marks another significant step in the club’s ongoing evolution under the stewardship of co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who have transformed the Welsh side into a global football brand.
The four new directors bring a wealth of experience in entertainment, finance, sports, and community engagement—reflecting the club’s hybrid approach to modern football management and media-driven growth.
**The New Board Members:**
1. **Shauna McElhenney** – A key figure behind the scenes, Shauna is Rob McElhenney’s wife and has played a major role in Wrexham’s community outreach and documentary efforts. Known for her work in television production and philanthropy, her appointment signals the club’s continued commitment to using media and storytelling to amplify Wrexham’s global presence while maintaining its strong local roots.
2. **George Dewey** – A longtime collaborator with Ryan Reynolds, Dewey is the President of Maximum Effort, the production and marketing company co-founded by Reynolds. Dewey’s expertise in digital marketing and branding has been instrumental in Wrexham’s rise to international recognition. His addition to the board formalizes the marketing powerhouse that has already brought unprecedented attention to the club.
3. **Fleur Robinson** – A seasoned football executive, Robinson brings extensive operational experience to Wrexham. Formerly involved with Burton Albion and currently serving in a leadership role with the club, she has been central to aligning Wrexham’s football operations with the requirements of the EFL. Her official appointment provides strong institutional knowledge and governance as the club aspires to reach higher divisions.
4. **Humphrey Ker** – Already a familiar face to Wrexham fans, Ker has been deeply involved in the day-to-day operations of the club since the Hollywood duo’s takeover. Serving as Executive Director, Ker’s formal appointment to the board solidifies his strategic and operational influence. His passion for the club and football in general has made him a bridge between the ownership, players, and fans.
**A New Chapter in Wrexham’s Story**
The EFL’s approval of these appointments clears the way for more streamlined and ambitious governance at Wrexham. With the club currently pushing for promotion and riding the wave of renewed fan interest thanks to the hit docuseries *Welcome to Wrexham*, the new board is expected to play a pivotal role in both commercial expansion and competitive growth.
Wrexham’s ownership group emphasized that the additions to the board reflect not just business acumen but a genuine love for the club and the community. In a joint statement, Reynolds and McElhenney said: “These new directors have been part of the Wrexham story since day one, whether behind the scenes or in the public eye. They bring passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to our vision.”
As Wrexham continues to evolve from a once-sleepy club in the National League to a global football phenomenon, this latest move underscores the seriousness of the club’s ambitions—both on the pitch and in the boardroom.
