The news comes after The Sun told this week that Ryan voices a talking reindeer mitten in one of its Christmas ads, alongside the League Two side’s co-owner, fellow actor Rob McElhenney.

Ryan, 47, declared: “Our partnership with M&S Food is important to Rob and I, due to its established history with Wrexham and its commitment to supporting the local community.

“The connection we have to the club and its supporters is something we’re deeply proud of.

“It’s essential we partner with a brand who understands the broader goals for the community as a whole and is committed to making positive changes.”
