JAY HARRIS believes the level of ambition shown by Wrexham's owners-elect can finally lead the club back into the Football League.

Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are on the verge of completing their takeover at The Racecourse with the duo vowing to invest £2million immediately.

The club has been under fan ownership since 2011 and Harris, who helped the Reds reach the play-offs three seasons in a row during his first spell, praised Wrexham Supporters Trust for ensuring it operated within its means.

But with the financial backing of its mega-rich actors, the midfielder believes Wrexham, currently spending a 13th season in non-league, will be in a better position to achieve the promotion dream.

"I am not saying there wasn't ambition there but there is stabilising the club and then excelling the club," said Harris.

"A club like Wrexham, where it has been and its history, you want to excel it as quick as possible.

"This could just be the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Fair play to the Trust for what they have done since they took over.

"There were a few seasons where Wrexham haven't done great but Wrexham were there or thereabouts for a few seasons but never quite got that bit of luck.

"The Trust has done brilliant in terms of keeping the club going and attracting players but the two guys who are going to take over, and the money they will put in, no disrespect to us at the minute but you then attract a better calibre of players and that is going to excel the club."

Harris, who rejoined Wrexham during the 2020 January transfer window, is looking forward to being part of a bright future.

"It is an exciting time and hopefully they can put money into it on and off the field and the club will be going in the right direction," said Harris.

"Then it is just a case of whoever is on the field and behind the scenes, carrying through what we have wanted for years at Wrexham which is obviously promotion."

Wrexham have received global publicity since Reynolds and McElhenney's interest in buying the club was announced.

Filming is well underway on the documentary charting the takeover and Harris says having cameramen following the players is part of the territory when it comes to having high profile owners and he remains focused on the job in hand.

"It has been different for the players and staff having more people around," said Harris.

"We are a creature of habit, we just want to come in, do our job and go home to our family lives; with other aspects coming in, it can be a distraction but you have just got to take it at what it is.

"You have got to go and do your job and if it means having a cameraman around or whatever, you have just got to try and forget about it.

"You do it on a Saturday when you get abuse from fans."
