Earlier this year, Anthony Forde and his wife, Laura Mangan, welcomed their new baby, embarking on their exciting journey into parenthood, which was both overwhelming and beautiful.
Soccer is an exciting sport, and the lower-level leagues are no exception. One of the standout teams from the English League two-division is Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Today, we’ll be talking about a particular player from that club, Anthony Forde, along with his wife, Laura Mangan, and their new baby.
Anthony Michael Forde is a 32-year-old soccer player from Ballingary, Ireland. He plays predominantly as a winger or midfielder.
Forde started his journey with top-flight club Wolverhampton Wanderers and made his premier league debut against Chelsea. Then he moved to Walsall FC, who were in League One back then.
Forde joined Rotherham United for 3 years, followed by 3 years at Oxford United, showcasing his skills after scoring goals.
Moreover, in 2022, the newly bought Wrexham signed Forde on a 2-year deal. With Wrexham, the winger won the National League, and his freekicks have been crucial for their success.
