Wrexham striker Elliot Lee has made a hilarious request to Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney after his side secured promotion to League One.
The Welsh team were promoted for the second season in a row after winning the National League last year.
Phil Parkinson’s side have impressively managed to complete the feat in successive seasons as they secured their place in League One next season after a 6-0 win over Forest Green Rovers.
Lee opened the scoring in the 17th minute before goals from Paul Mullin, Ryan Barnett, Jack Marriott and a Ryan Innis own goal saw Wrexham gain promotion.
After the match, Lee made a hilarious request to the Wrexham owners following their promotion.

Paul Mullin was on fire again, scoring twice in their huge win
Speak with BBC SportWales after the win, Lee said: “I don’t know if they’ve messaged anyone yet.
‘We normally get a message from Ryan after a game, so I’m sure he’ll send a message soon enough. Honestly, they both will.”
He continued to reveal that the players are ready for a trip to Las Vegas.
“We just told them to start the plane to Vegas!” Lee joked.
This comes after Reynolds and McElhenney flew the Wrexham squad to Las Vegas following their promotion from the National League next season.
It remains to be seen whether the squad will return to America this summer, but it’s clear Lee wants the Hollywood stars to make it an annual event.
Wrexham will be hoping to make three successive promotions by this time next year as they continue their upward trend.
We may see the Welsh side in England’s second tier sooner or later as the Hollywood owners will no doubt continue to invest.
