Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds sent a parting message to former Reds coach Lee Butler after he announced his retirement. 

Ryan sent a somewhat amusing message to the departing goalkeeper coach, who spent a year at the Racecourse after linking up with Phil Parkinson and Steve Parkin once again. 

The trio had previously worked together at Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers.

Lee was a popular figure behind the scenes at the Racecourse and was renowned for his firm handshakes, something Ryan is all too familiar with. 

He said: "Every time I came to Cae Ras I’d have to psych myself up for 'the handshake'.

"Lee would walk up and literally pulverize my hand… and sure… I’d wince a bit. But I wouldn’t break eye contact and he could almost never tell that I was peeing.

"I’ll miss him. Almost as much as my right hand."

Speaking on his time at Wrexham, Butler said: “The supporters are some of the best I’ve known across my 40 years in football and I really enjoyed my time working at the Club.

“It wasn’t just the keepers, it was the whole squad; they’re a fantastic bunch of lads and I wish them all the best for next season.”

The club has announced that Aidan Davison, who worked under Parkinson at Colchester, has replaced the outgoing Butler.
