Striker Sinclair will call time on a glittering international career on Tuesday against Australia in Vancouver. The 40-year-old has scored 190 goals for Canada, a period in which she has led her country to three Olympic medals – including gold at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games. Ahead of that momentous retirement, Wrexham co-owner and compatriot Reynolds mused whether the Portland Thorns icon would consider linking up with Wrexham Women, who sit second in Wales' top-flight women's league, the Adran Premier.

Reynolds continued: "What I really wanted to do is thank you. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me, my kids, kids all over Canada and the world, young, old, middle-aged. You're incredible and you deserve all the applause that hands could possibly give. Sending you tons of love."
