Bale stepped away from football in January 2023 as his country’s record men’s goalscorer, after helping Wales to a first World Cup appearance in 64 years.
McElhenney, who alongside fellow actor Ryan Reynolds took over Wrexham in February 2021, has stepped up his efforts to sign the 34-year-old following the club’s promotion to League One.
“Gareth Bale is still technically available! I don’t know, I made the plea last year and I’m just going to tell Gareth that the offer’s still on the table,” he said.
“We’ll let you off for golf, whenever you need to get off. As long as you come to training once or twice a week we can figure out how to get you 10 minutes on the pitch.
“And the golf courses – Wales is amongst the most beautiful countries in the world.”
