The Desperate Housewives star invested in them four years ago.

Wrexham FC co-owners and Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney followed suit last year.

All three are expected to appear in the programme.

American Eva told GQ Mexico magazine: “I want people to see the good things in this country.

“I want to focus on this.

“And soccer, culturally, is one of those things.”

Eva joined pal Rob at a Wrexham game at the start of last season.

Welcome to Wrexham has been renewed for a fifth series.

It will follow the team’s first season in the EFL Championship following their third consecutive promotion.
