Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney paid a visit to Eastleigh's ground on Saturday.

He was at the Silverlake Stadium as they were beaten 2-0 by high-flying Wrexham in the National League.

McElhenney is the American co-owner of the Welsh side along with actor Ryan Reynolds, who reportedly flew back to the US on Friday after visiting their club.

The King and Queen Consort met Reynolds and McElhenney as they paid a visit to the football club owned by the stars.

The royals visited Wrexham AFC, which was bought by the actors in 2021, on Friday and met players and staff as well as the co-chairmen during a tour of the Racecourse Ground.

Deadpool actor Reynolds and McElhenney, who stars in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, joked they had had etiquette lessons ahead of the visit.
