Wales boss Craig Bellamy couldn’t help but make a cheeky jab at Wrexham’s big spending after they made history by having three of their players included in the Wales squad for the first time in 15 years! Bellamy’s lineup for the upcoming matches against Kazakhstan and Canada features Wrexham’s new signings: goalkeeper Danny Ward, forward Nathan Broadhead, and striker Kieffer Moore.
The Red Dragons, owned by Hollywood’s Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, went all out this summer, splashing up to £12 million for the trio. Broadhead’s £10 million transfer from Ipswich shattered Wrexham’s previous records, while Moore made an impact with early goals in his Wrexham tenure. Ward, on the other hand, returned home from Leicester for a sentimental free transfer.
Bellamy joked, “What money can do, huh?” but quickly sang praises for Wrexham’s exhilarating journey. Once battling it out in the National League, the club now finds itself in the Championship thanks to three consecutive promotions under the star-studded ownership.
Bellamy is optimistic about what this means for Welsh football, emphasising that the rise of clubs like Wrexham, Swansea, Newport, and Cardiff only strengthens the national team. With Wrexham’s style seemingly well-suited to Moore and the potential for Broadhead to shine, the inclusion of these players seems promising for the dragons.
The journey of Wrexham has been nothing short of captivating, and Bellamy hopes their success paves the way for a new generation of football talent across Wales.
