WREXHAM owner Rob McElhenney has made a cheeky attempt to convince Gareth Bale to come out of retirement.
The Welsh hero retired from the game earlier this year after representing his country at the World Cup in Qatar.
Bale, 33, is clearly enjoying retirement, and took time out to congratulate McElhenney on Wrexham’s promotion.
In a short video clip, the former Tottenham and Real Madrid star said: “Hi Rob, just want to congratulate you on your promotion and everything you’re doing at Wrexham.”
McElhenney posted the clip to his Twitter account, alongside a cheeky message.
Tagging the five-time Champions League winner, he wrote: “Hey @GarethBale11 let’s play golf, where I totally won’t spend 4 hours trying to convince you to un-retire for one last magical season 🏴 🏴 🏴 🏴 ❤️”
