A Premier League winner has been urged to join Wrexham on a free transfer as he nears the end of his career. Ashley Young is set to leave Everton when his contract expires at the end of June, but the 39-year-old insists he has no plans to retire. The veteran full-back has had an illustrious career having previously turned out for Watford , Aston Villa , Manchester United and Inter Milan , as well as earning 39 England caps. Young has made 485 Premier League appearances in total since making his debut in 2006 and lifted the top-flight trophy with United in 2013. However, he is now being encouraged to step down to the Championship with newly-promoted Wrexham as he considers his next move. Former Everton winger Pat Nevin made the suggestion after praising Young's excellent fitness levels and claiming would be the perfect match for the Welsh club, who are owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney . Speaking to Spin Genie, the former Scotland international said: "Ashley Young is so weird . There is no way he should be so fit at the age of 39. If you're a sitting midfielder or number 10 who is waltzing about, it may be understandable, but he's a full-back bombing up and down the wing which is staggering. "He does, however, happen to be human, so it's inevitable he will drop off at some point. If he takes a step down, it needs to be for a project and Wrexham is one hell of a project. From my point of view, I would encourage it. I think it would be a really good thing for him to do. "I dropped down a division later on in my career and it was possibly the happiest I ever was whilst playing. My advice would be that his next move won't be to Real Madrid , so he needs to do something he enjoys and ignore anyone who says, 'Oh, it's a step down.' "He would offer so much experience and leadership to that team. Who else has achieved what he has at Wrexham? It would all rub off on his teammates and be a win-win for both parties. Even if he got injured, he will add something massive off the field." Nevin added: "I love what Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have done at Wrexham. I've got time for anyone who can pick a club up and invest money to bring them back up the leagues. It might be annoying for the teams playing against them but that's what happens at every level of football." Wrexham have been linked with a string of Premier League stars after securing promotion from League One in April. Leicester hero Jamie Vardy and Fulham captain Tom Cairney are two of the biggest names connected with a move to the Racecourse Ground, along with West Ham duo Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell . Deadpool star Reynolds has indicated that manager Phil Parkinson will be well-backed as he looks to improve his squad this summer, despite sounding a note of caution regarding financial prudence. Speaking on the RobRyanRed fan podcast, Reynolds said: "We're coming to win. I can't give you a dollar figure, but I can tell you that we are going to be as aggressive as we can possibly be while being mindful of sustainability. We have a stadium to revamp, but will still maintain its character and culture." Even though they're footing the bill, McElhenney underscored that he and Reynolds typically find out about signings quite late. "I start hearing the names out there on social media or whatever, but we don't really know any of that until Phil tells us," he said. "By that point, it's already essentially happened."
