‘We’re like twin towns’

Captain Niall Canavan and goalkeeper Paul Farman flew over to Canada in the summer to take part in the sponsorship launch and more players will head over next spring to take part in coaching clinics, to further establish the link between club and province.

“We’ve seen how high the profile of the EFL has gone thanks to Birmingham and Wrexham, especially in America,” said Henry.

“We are not on that level and obviously we’re connected to Canada, not America, but we have seen that interest grow.

“Our social media, the club’s streaming subscriptions, and we have shipped a lot more of our shirts internationally than we did last year.”
