[https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk Wrexham AFC] defender Zak Vyner is relishing the opportunity to witness the club’s burgeoning popularity across the Atlantic during an ambitious pre-season tour of the United States. The Welsh club, owned by Hollywood figures Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has arranged an impressive schedule featuring matches against three formidable opponents on American soil.
Tour Itinerary Takes Shape
The tour will see Wrexham face Leeds United in Tampa, Liverpool in New York, and Sunderland in Philadelphia as the club prepares for the new Championship campaign. The geographic spread across major US cities promises to showcase the club’s growing fanbase in different regions of the country.
Vyner, who recently joined from Bristol City, views the tour as a chance to immerse himself in the unique environment surrounding the club. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but it’ll be a great experience for me to get a taste of it,” the defender said.
Fresh Start for New Recruit
For Vyner, the experience represents more than just pre-season preparation. The tour offers him an opportunity to acclimate to his new surroundings at Wrexham while getting a firsthand look at the dedicated support the club has developed stateside. This early exposure could prove valuable as he settles into life with the Championship outfit and builds relationships with his new teammates in a high-profile setting.
The three-match itinerary combines competitive fixtures against established rivals while allowing the club to capitalize on its growing American following—a fan base that has expanded considerably since Reynolds and McElhenney’s involvement with the historic Welsh club.
