Wrexham to waive Paul Mullin transfer fee? 110-goal striker could leave as free agent as Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney prepare to part with history-making promotion hero

The 30-year-old frontman moved to SToK Racecourse in 2021, a matter of months after Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their stunning takeover in North Wales.

Mullin is a three-time Player of the Year at Wrexham and has formed part of squads that have rewritten the history books by securing three successive promotions. He did, however, tumble down the attacking pecking order in 2024-25.

Questions are being asked of Mullin’s future, with Wrexham expected to spend again ahead of a step up into the Championship, and Alan Nixon has posted on his Patreon account that the Red Dragons are prepared to let their iconic No.10 leave for nothing despite being under contract until 2027.

Phil Parkinson has said when asked about the role Mullin and fellow experienced forward Ollie Palmer have to play in his plans after finding game time and spots in matchday squads hard to come by: “Of course there’s 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.”

It is being claimed that Wigan are showing interest in Mullin. They finished 15th in the League One campaign that saw Wrexham claim a runners-up spot and would allow Merseyside native Mullin to remain in the North West alongside his young family.
