'Awkward & embarrassed' - Wrexham talisman Paul Mullin admits he is still struggling to deal with fame brought by co-owners Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney

The journey of Wrexham has captured the imagination of audiences worldwide, with Reynolds and McElhenney's ambitious goal of steering the club to Premier League glory serving as a driving force to achieve sporting success. Coupled with their achievements on the field, which include securing back-to-back promotions to secure a League One berth, the Hollywood actors are major crowd-pullers at the SToK Cae Ras along with their celebrity friends who often drop in at the VIP box to watch Wrexham in action.

Their exciting journey, both on and off the pitch, is chronicled in the acclaimed docuseries "Welcome to Wrexham". The show has garnered widespread praise, with critics lauding the duo for their efforts in revitalising the historic club and creating memorable moments in north Wales. Mullin's role in the television series is significant, as he happens to be a key figure at Wrexham with more than 100 goals under his belt for the club. His on-field exploits have contributed significantly to his recognition, but the striker admitted that he is still warming up to the widespread media spotlight and global attention that he has to regularly deal with.

Speaking to The Guardian, Mullin said: "It’s a privilege people stop me for a photo but I still get awkward and embarrassed – because I’m just me. But it was really touching when they did the mural of me in Wrexham. I’m used to seeing them around Anfield so to have my own in Wrexham makes me really grateful.”

Wrexham's on-field success mirrors the club's off-field resurgence under Reynolds and McElhenney's ownership. Following their triumph in the National League last season, Wrexham secured another promotion this term, marking a remarkable ascent up the football pyramid.

Currently placed third in League Two, the ambitious Red Dragons are poised to conclude their season with a pivotal home game against table-toppers Stockport County at the iconic Racecourse Ground on Saturday. Mullin will be eager to steer his club to the three points against the champions as a victory in this crucial fixture, coupled with favourable results elsewhere, could see Wrexham clinch a second-place finish, capping off a remarkable campaign for the club.
