And the 39-year-old, who has 1.27 million subscribers on YouTube, posted all about his first game back on Saturday when he started in goal against York.

In a video titled “The MATCHDAY VLOGS Are BACK!”, Foster detailed his return to Wrexham, 18 years after first appearing for the club on a loan deal from Stoke.

Speaking into the camera while at the Racecourse Ground, he said: “We are back, baby! The Cycling GK, matchday vlogs, GoPro in the goal, we are back and I am absolutely buzzing.

“So you might have seen in the last few days I have come out of retirement and I have signed for a team that I actually played for 18 years ago.

“2005 I was last here at Wrexham, you might know them a little better from the Welcome to Wrexham series with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

“It is a fantastic club, we are in non-league, we are top of the league, we are three points clear and we have a game in hand.”

Foster continued by adding footage of him training for the first time since rocking back up at Wrexham before giving a small tour of the club, including the kitman’s quarters and the canteen.

The next segment saw him travelling to the ground on matchday before the infamous GoPro camera was deployed in the goal to capture all the action.

That included a few catches from crosses and corners, a big save and Foster celebrating the goals as Wrexham emerged 3-0 winners over York on a solid second debut from the Englishman.

Speaking after the match, the veteran stopper managed to even grab co-owner and Hollywood star Reynolds, who was in town to watch his non-league enterprise in action.

Foster announced that he was putting his matchday shirt up for grabs in a competition for YouTube viewers and had the Deadpool actor hold it up.

Reynolds said: “If you want to win this Foster shirt, which smells exactly like victory and some other stuff, you know what to do.”

Foster was signed by Wrexham after an injury to first-choice keeper Rob Lainton that saw him mark his return from retirement.

The former England international had left Watford last summer when his contract expired and decided against joining another team.

That was despite Newcastle arriving with an offer in September, instead opting to focus on his YouTube channel until Wrexham arrived.
