Wrexham stars Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee beaten to League Two PFA Players' Player of the Year award despite winning promotion as old rivals Notts County have winner crowned

The pair helped the Red Dragons to promotion out of the fourth tier, with Phil Parkinson’s side claiming a runners-up finish a year on from landing the National League title. They gave Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney plenty of drama for the club’s popular documentary series.

Mullin passed the 100-goal mark for Wrexham during the 2023-24 campaign, hitting 24 in League Two to finish behind old adversary Macaulay Langstaff of Notts County in the Golden Boot stakes. Lee, meanwhile, found the target on 16 occasions – a career-best return for him – while also weighing in with a number of important assists.

County star Jodi Jones was, however, the most creative player in League Two over the course of the campaign – as he broke a record held by Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry when it comes to most assists in a single English season.

Malta international Jones teed up 24 efforts for his team-mates, with that return seeing him to the PFA League Two Player of the Year award. He said of making history: “You hear people talk about strikers getting 24 or 25 goals, but with assists you hear more about 12 or 13, so when I do sit back and sometimes think I have 24 you do think it's some achievement. Getting 24 is amazing and if I'm being really honest, I don't think I'd get that many again.”

Jones was also named in the PFA Team of the Year, alongside Langstaff, Mullin and Lee. He already has the EFL Player of the Year award for League Two in his trophy collection, with the 26-year-old hoping to add more collective success to his roll of honour in 2024-25 as County once again take aim at promotion.
