Ryan Reynolds buying house in Welsh village of Marford as he pledges future to Wrexham FC

ACTOR Ryan Reynolds has bought a £1.5million pad near Wrexham after snapping up the town’s football club.

The Deadpool star, 46 — a local hero after pumping cash into the team — now owns a four-bed property in a small village five miles from the ground.

It is in stark contrast to the £4.3million home in New York where he lives with wife Blake Lively, 35, and their kids.

A source said: “Ryan is moving to Marford and it’s all the locals can talk about. His house is on the poshest road.

"The most famous person from Marford is Tim Vincent from Blue Peter, so a Hollywood star is a step up!

“It might not be the Big Apple but the red carpet will be rolled out when Ryan comes to town.”

Ryan bought ailing Wrexham with Hollywood actor pal Rob McElhenney, 45, in November 2020.

The pair have spent £10million on the club as it bids for promotion to the Football League.

Ryan will watch Wrexham play Notts County at his club’s Racecourse Ground today in a table-topping clash.
