Paul Mullin & Ollie Palmer are staying! Phil Parkinson confirms Wrexham legends will be part of Championship journey despite three-month absence from Red Dragons' promotion success

Mullin and Palmer have been among the key architects in Wrexham's rapid rise in stature in English football. Mullin has scored over 100 goals for the Red Dragons and was the club's highest goalscorer during their promotion campaigns from the National League and League Two. Palmer also combined well with the English forward and contributed with 44 goals in the club's last two seasons.

The 2024-25 campaign, however, turned out to be a quite different for the duo as they slipped down the pecking order and did not make League One appearances after January. There was speculation over the veteran forwards' futures at the club now that they have reached the second-tier of English football, but manager Parkinson has revealed that the attackers will be staying.

Speaking to BBC Sport Wales, Parkinson said: "First of all, everyone's made a contribution. What level that has been doesn't matter because everybody's been together and contributed. Of course, there are always players who would have liked to have played more. Equally, contributions can come in many forms, so I'm delighted with everybody as a group. Mulls and Ollie will always be legends at this club for what they've done. They're under contract next year and they'll be back in pre-season ready to go again."

Wrexham's Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are expected make more funds available in a bid to ensure that they remain fiercely competitive in the second division of English football. The club's ultimate dream remains to qualify for the Premier League.
