RYAN Reynolds has sent a heartwarming message to an 11-year-old from Wrexham who is "going through the ****". 

The Deadpool star followed up his generous donation of £1,600 to FC United of Wrexham's U12 futsal team, by sending a message to one of their players. 

Keegan Barton tragically lost his father, Adam Bradshaw, in September, and alongside his mum, Kayleigh has endured a tough 12 months. 

After Kayleigh set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for a new kit for the U12's at FC United of Wrexham, where Keegan plays, the target was comfortably achieved thanks to a donation from Ryan Reynolds. 

After hearing more about what Keegan has been through, an "inspired" Ryan sent him a personal message.
