Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have stepped up to support a former Wrexham player in need! They’ve generously donated £8,000 to help fund a crucial knee operation for Jordan Tunnicliffe, who recently suffered a tough ACL injury while playing for Farnborough. Jordan, a dedicated dad and talented footballer, is facing the daunting prospect of being out of contract soon, potentially leaving his family without income.
The injury, which could have been career-ending, requires a £13,000 operation and year-long rehab. Thanks to the kindness of Ryan, Rob, and many other supporters, donations have surged past £16,000, reigniting Jordan’s dreams of returning to the pitch.
Jordan, who helped propel Wrexham to promotion in the 2022/23 season, was amazed by the support. “I woke up to so many messages, then saw Ryan and Rob’s donation. Their message said, ‘Get well soon, Tunny,’ and it was unbelievably motivating,” said Jordan. He’s determined to make a comeback despite being nearly 33 and having faced a significant setback.
The love and support from the community, including his time playing under the starry ownership at Wrexham, mean the world to him. As he looks to recover and return to the game he loves, Jordan’s grateful for every single donation.
