McClean delight at sealing Wrexham move - 'I want to be a part of that journey'

The newly-promoted League Two club are funded by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

JAMES McCLEAN HAS signed a one-year deal with Wrexham, the club funded by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The 34-year-old was named Wigan Athleticโ€™s player of the year in the Championship last season and won his 100th cap for Ireland during the last international window in June.

He will now link up with the ambitious Welsh outfit, who sealed promotion to League Two last term.

โ€œIโ€™m absolutely delighted to sign for Wrexham. Itโ€™s a project that is very exciting and Iโ€™m looking forward to being a part of it,โ€ McClean, who has an option for a second year, said.

โ€œThe club has ambitions to go even further, and Iโ€™m a very ambitious person. Iโ€™m someone who is driven and I want to be a part of that journey.โ€

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: โ€œIโ€™m really pleased with the signing of someone with the calibre of James. As I said in the summer, itโ€™s about being patient and getting the players in who can be strong additions to our squad moving forward.โ€

    I concur! Not a united player, where would he even play? Kagawa and Rooney play in the same position and this silly haircut joker wouldnโ€™t displace either.

    Felaini is garbage. He doesnt deserve to be in a top 4 team. If fraud boy goes for this overgrown waste I hope man u fans be calling for his head. He is like a poor version of Niall Quinn.

    Fellaini would walk onto to the Man Utd midfield. The Utd central midfield is absolutely woeful, definitely the weakest of the top 4. Think Utd fans have forgotten 1st game of the season last year when Fellaini destroyed ye.

    Anybody who says heโ€™s over-rated just looks at the traditional top teams and hasnโ€™t a clue about the mid and lower tabled teams.. Ye probably couldnโ€™t even name three other Everton players without looking on the Internet.. #clueless

    You donโ€™t break every record and win so many trophies with an average team,Iโ€™m guessing youโ€™re a jealous scouse fan. Keep the jealousy coming we love it!

    If he can make it into the Belgian midfield with the options they have, heโ€™s far from brutal
