- Co-owners accept former Wales captain ‘happy in retirement’
- Bale has turned down offer to play for Wrexham in League Two
The Wrexham co-chairmen, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have insisted there is “seriousness” to their public offer for Gareth Bale to come out of retirement and play for their club, who have just been promoted back to the Football League.
The former Wales captain announced his retirement at the age of 33 in January after leading his country to their first World Cup finals appearance since 1958. McElhenney then tweeted Bale last month, after Wrexham had secured the National League title and a place in League Two for next season.
