Wrexham update official squad page with Paul Mullin as 'Welshpool' in hilarious nod to star striker's surprise role in Deadpool & Wolverine alongside Ryan Reynolds

Ollie Palmer has confirmed that he features as an extra in Deadpool & Wolverine, with the Red Dragons forward “blagging” his way into that blockbuster production. He is not the only Wrexham frontman to be given a credit.

Mullin was listed on the Deadpool cast list by IMDB, with Reynolds later sharing images of the 105-goal striker on set. The 29-year-old does not get his face on screen, but he plays one of several alter-egos that feature in a big-money movie – alongside Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively.

Wrexham have delighted in seeing a couple of star turns on their books join co-owner Reynolds in his day job. In playful recognition of that, Mullin has seen his profile changed on the club’s official website to ‘Welshpool’ – with his image also being updated.

Mullin is currently working his way back from surgery, which forced him to sit out the Red Dragons’ latest pre-season tour of North America, with Phil Parkinson hoping to have his No.10 available as early as possible in the 2024-25 League One campaign.
