RYAN Reynolds and Wrexham AFC have congratulated one of the club's players and his partner on the birth of their child.
Defender Aaron Hayden has been a key player for the club since making the move to the Racecourse from Carlisle United in 2021.
And, although he's a centre back, the 26-year-old popped up with an incredible 12 goals in just 26 appearances this season before injury ruled him out for a long spell towards the end.
Hayden announced via Twitter today (April 25) that he and partner Iona McLeod - who both featured on the Welcome to Wrexham documentary - have welcomed a baby boy into the world.
Izaak Michael Hayden was born at 1.47am this morning, weighing 7.14lbs.
