The Hollywood star is heavily invested, but was filmed as he attempted to pronounce the Irish name of the new signing.After several attempts, Reynolds' co-owner Rob McElhenney questioned why he found it so hard to pronounce. "It is so easy," said McElhenney before adding: "Why is it so hard for you to pronounce Irish names.
The 27-year-old defender, who began his career with Celtic, has played with the likes of Bury, Rochdale and the Addicks. O'Connell has spoken about his move, citing the ambition of the club as a huge draw with promotion Wrexham's main target this term. His new manager, Phil Parkinson, added: “I’m very pleased, Eoghan is a very strong signing for us, we had the disappointment of losing a couple of players over the weekend, but it was important we acted quickly. He has a lot of experience at a high level and he will bring a lot of quality to the team.
