Harvey, who has also held senior roles at Leeds and Bradford, had been an advisor at the Welsh club since their takeover by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in February 2021.

Executive director Humphrey Ker said: “Shaun has been at the heart of everything the club has achieved since the takeover, and his elevation to the board is both a recognition of his contributions and a formalisation of the role he has fulfilled for the last few years.”

Harvey has been heavily featured in the Disney documentary Welcome to Wrexham, leading the club’s plans off the field – including their bid to redevelop the Kop stand at the Raceourse Ground.
