'He hit his own girlfriend & another player's partner' - Wrexham's Paul Mullin lifts lid on his Swindon nightmare amid huge dressing room divide

The Wrexham star, who spent a season at Swindon Town in 2017-18, made shocking revelations about their dressing room environment as he claimed that an unnamed player hit his own girlfriend and then physically assaulted the partner of another team-mate which led to a huge fight in the squad.

In his autobiography ‘My Wrexham Story’, the striker wrote: "Sad to say that at Swindon I found the exact opposite to Morecambe. There wasn’t so much a split as a chasm. I could only watch as the changing room imploded around me. Everyone was getting on OK until one night out went totally haywire. One of the lads not only hit his own girlfriend but also the partner of another player.

"It caused a massive split in the camp. A lot of the lads, me included, were disgusted. What he’d done was wrong and from our point of view that was the end of it. Others remained close to the perpetrator. He was barred from the team for a week, and when he came back there was a clear divide. From that moment on we weren’t a team, and it hampered us. Without togetherness in a changing room, you will never achieve anything."

After quitting Swindon, the 29-year-old joined Tranmere Rovers where he spent a season and a half. His stint with Tranmere did not pan out as he would have expected as according to the player he hated playing under then-manager Micky Mellon and had even contemplated retirement.

The Red Dragons star will be next seen in action in League Two against his former club Morecambe on Saturday at the Racecourse Ground. Phil Parkinson's side, who are currently fourth in the league, will aim to get the three points and move up on the table.
