James McClean salutes Wrexham fans singing an anti-King chant after their promotion to League 1
Wrexham star James McClean's decision to salute fans singing how he 'hates the f***ing King' will come as little surprise to anyone who has followed his career to date.
Born in Londonderry, the footballer started out playing for his local club before beginning his Premier League career with Sunderland in 2011. Spells at Wigan, West Brom and Stoke followed before he signed for Wrexham in 2023. Advertisement It came just a few weeks after Prince William visited Wrexham's Racecourse Ground to meet staff and players, and hear about how the club has risen since the takeover by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
The footballer could be seen wearing a Palestine flag badge on his collar for a game against Doncaster Rovers on April 2 'I respect that. Just because I don't fall in line, that doesn't mean I disrespect or I hate you. All I'm asking for is to be respected for my beliefs in return. It's as simple as that.'
Last September, McClean admitted regrets about posting a controversial picture of himself in lockdown 'jokingly' home schooling his children in a balaclava, which was interpreted as a reference to the IRA McClean was fined two weeks of wages by Stoke City for the post in 2020. It was subsequently removed.
