The star of "It's Always Sunny in
Philadelphia," along with his Marvel super-hero co-owner Ryan
Reynolds, helped to raise the profile of the Welsh club through
their docu-series "Welcome to Wrexham," earning the team legions
of U.S. fans.
"We're looking forward to our tour to America in the summer,"
Manager Phil Parkinson said in a statement.
"The club has had a small taste of the support we have over
there, and it will be great to take our first-team players over
to see that support first-hand."
The lovable underdogs secured a fairytale return to the English
Football League in April after a 15-year absence and the
Philadelphia match is part of a victory lap planned across the
pond.
They play Chelsea in front of a sold-out crowd on July 19 in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, before facing LA Galaxy II in Los
Angeles July 22 and Manchester United on July 25 at San Diego's
Snapdragon Stadium.
