Paul Mullin given ‘desperate’ transfer update after ‘strange’ events at Wrexham that have seen promotion hero for Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney frozen out

Despite being a three-time Player of the Year in North Wales, with back-to-back promotions sitting alongside 110 goals on his impressive CV, Mullin has tumbled down the pecking order under Phil Parkinson in 2024-25.

The 30-year-old striker is now finding it difficult to make matchday squads, with big money having been invested on bringing the likes of Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez to SToK Racecourse. There is now talk of Mullin being moved on in the next window.

Ex-Wycombe star Joe Jacobson, who is seeing his former club compete with Wrexham for automatic promotion in League One, has told Football League World of Mullin’s situation: “I'd suggest that he does leave. I'm not sure about his contract situation but if I was him, seeing the limited game time I was receiving and the way the club's going now, they're not going to go back in any direction.

“I think they're just going to press and go forward if anything. They'll probably sign again in the summer, they've got the experience of Steven Fletcher and Jack Marriott, Jay Rodriguez there, they spent a lot of money on Sam Smith. So they're all obviously kind of ahead of him. Elliot Lee has played up there as well. So, the writing's been on the wall a little bit for Paul Mullin, but he's been an incredible goalscorer for them.

“It's just, he's on big wages. Whether or not another team, probably within League One - especially League Two - will be wanting his signature, but it's been strange how limited game time he's had. Someone who's kind of struggled for goals at this level previously, so he'll want to prove himself, but if there's a team who are spending a bit of money, especially in League Two, I think they will be desperate to get Paul Mullin in.”

Mullin has registered just five goals across all competitions this season, through 32 appearances. He has started only nine League One fixtures and appears destined to sever ties with the Red Dragons this summer despite being under contract until 2027.
