Three-time Player of the Year & fan favouriteHas hit over 100 goals for the Red DragonsMay be offloaded following historic promotionFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Mullin remains a fan favourite at SToK Racecourse after registering more than 100 goals for the Red Dragons while helping them to promotion out of the National League and League Two. The 2024-25 campaign has been a tough one for the 30-year-old frontman.

The target has been found on just three occasions, with only nine starts being recorded. Mullin has not figured in a matchday squad since February 23, with record-breaking transfer business in January seeing him slip down the pecking order.
DID YOU KNOW?
There has been talk of Wrexham sanctioning a sale in the next window, freeing up funds and squad space for further additions, with Phil Parkinson looking for more Championship pedigree to be added to his ranks.
GettyWHAT EFL PUNDIT SAID
Former EFL star turned pundit David Prutton has told of Mullin’s situation: "As we saw when he first joined the club, dropping out of the EFL, he took a real chance and a gamble. Yes, you would say it was a well-paid gamble, but he's delivered the goals that have given the foundations of a side that has gotten itself into the Championship, which is a glorious thing to see.
"There would be an element of sentiment there, I don't think he would be used sentimentally. I think he's a player that is proven to be a very decent part of this Wrexham side. However, the Championship, as we know, is brutal. Wrexham, potentially, given their financial foundations, may want to think that – and this is casting no shade on Paul Mullin – they maybe want to look at someone more established from a Championship point of view, or someone dropping down from the Premier League.
"Undoubtedly, the story that's been created around them will make them a very, very attractive proposition for many players."
