WREXHAM have been warned to avoid becoming a “circus” by trying to sign “over-the-hill” stars.
The Hollywood-owned Welsh club are preparing for League Two next season after winning the National League.
They have been linked with retired Gareth Bale, 33, Hal Robson-Kanu, 34, and 41-year-old Morten Gamst Pedersen.
But ex-Wrexham and Wales defender Neil Taylor has told A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to steer clear of veteran, big-name players.
Taylor said: “It can’t become a circus. That’s the main thing.
“Wrexham are at the stage now where I’ve seen a couple of my old friends offer to play for them – it shows the pull of the football club.

“They’ve got to be careful who they do get through the door because there’s no bigger pull than Wrexham below the Championship.
“It’s still a football club that needs to be successful because no-one will pat you on the back if you don’t do it properly.
“Leave those players that are over the hill. I’d say to Hal ‘I don’t think you’re getting in over Paul Mullin. You’re retired now and he’s a top-class striker’.
“People think League One and League Two are easy, but they’re not.

“It’s really hard football, harder arguably than when you play higher up with the amount of games, travel and some of the grounds you play at.
“So I’d say to Wrexham, stay clear and go for players who know the league and have been successful in it, players who are hungry to get higher up.”
