- Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, Wrexham AFC co-chairmen, said: “We're thrilled to welcome RBC to Wrexham. One of us opened his first bank account with Royal Bank of Canada... We'll let you guess which one. So this one is personal. We look forward to making sure people understand the global reach of RBC as Wrexham continues its march to worldwide football fame.”
- Michael Williamson, CEO of Wrexham AFC, said: “I am delighted to welcome Royal Bank of Canada to the Wrexham AFC family as the Official Bank and Official Wealth Management Partner of the Club.
