The Always Sunny in Philadelphia star took to Twitter after his side beat Boreham Wood 3-1 over the weekend.

“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,” he wrote.

The post also included a video of Bale congratulating McElhenney on the result, saying: "Hi Rob, just want to congratulate you on your promotion and everything you're doing at Wrexham."

Bale replied by writing “depends what course” and tagging golf’s governing body The R&A.

Reynolds also chipped in, trying his best to convince Bale to get involved. He wrote: “I will shave a professional-grade golf course into Rob’s back if you’ll give Wrexham a season.”

“Update: after an online image search, it appears Rob does not have the requisite body hair to support this plan,” he added.

Will we see Bale turn out in a Wrexham shirt soon? Only time will tell.
