Footballer-turned-YouTuber Ben Foster comes OUT of retirement to sign for Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham - just a month after Tottenham failed to bring him in as cover for Hugo Lloris... with 39-year-old returning to the Welsh side 18 years after leaving

Ben Foster has come out of retirement to sign for Wrexham until the end of the season in a stunning swoop for the National League leaders.

His move comes just a month after Tottenham failed to lure Foster to north London as cover for injured goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

The former Premier League star, who carved out fruitful spells at Manchester United, Birmingham, West Brom and Watford, will return to the Welsh side for the first time in 18 years, having previously played there on loan in 2005.

Since his initial retirement, the 39-year-old star has hosted 'Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast', which boasts 175,000 YouTube subscribers, and will now team up with Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at The Racecourse Ground.
