Panto Star Ryan Thomas Visits the Wolverhampton Wanderers

Dick Whittington famously heads for fame and fortune in London, where the streets are paved with gold and this year's Wolverhampton pantomime star, Ryan Thomas, went to where the shirts are lined with gold - at Wolverhampton Wanderers FC!

Ryan, who stars in the Grand Theatre's 125th anniversary pantomime took a short break from rehearsals in the city to visit the Wolves team at their training ground. Ryan met with players including Raul Jimenez, Morgan Gibbs-White, Maximilian Kilman, Ruben Vinagre, Jesus Vallejo and Adama Traore as part of an official welcome to the city from the football club, who work closely with the theatre as two of the city's main family attractions.

Membership and Mascot Manager at Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, Kerri Davies said; "We are delighted that Wolverhampton Grand are continuing their support for our Young Wolves scheme, which means that many more families will be able to enjoy both football and theatre in the city. It was great to have Ryan visit our training ground to meet the team and we look forward to seeing him on stage this Christmas."
