‘Partner in crime’ – Wrexham striker Ollie Palmer delighted to have ‘Scouse mate’ Paul Mullin back after punctured lung

Ollie Palmer is delighted to see “Scouse mate” Paul Mullin returning to full fitness, with the Wrexham striker getting his “partner in crime” back.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Dragons hot-shot Mullin, who netted 47 goals for the club last season as they were promoted into the Football League, suffered a punctured lung when figuring in a friendly against Manchester United during the Welsh side’s summer tour of the United States.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
He has been eased back from that injury, with a first start of the 2023-24 campaign taken in last time out against Grimsby. Mullin is still working his way towards full match sharpness, but his presence in Phil Parkinson’s plans is being welcomed by playing and coaching staff.
WHAT THEY SAID
Palmer, who found the target on 18 occasions last term, has told The Leader of having Mullin by his side once more: "It is good to have my Scouse mate back! We have scored plenty of goals this season already but he is a player we will always miss and it is good to be playing with my partner in crime."
