Welsh-English striker Paul Mullin is set to return to Wrexham after cutting his loan spell with Wigan Athletic short. The decision comes at a crucial point in the season, with Wrexham on the cusp of the Championship playoff places.
Manager Phil Parkinson confirmed Mullin’s return to Wrexham training this week, emphasizing the need for the player to get back into the groove after missing a few days of work. At 31 years old, Mullin is heading back to the club where he enjoyed great success in his career.
During his time at Wigan, Mullin scored five goals in 26 games but found himself left out of the squad in recent matches, prompting his early departure from the League One side. Now, he is eager to rejoin Wrexham and make an impact once again.
Mullin has been a key player for Wrexham since his arrival in 2021, helping the club secure three consecutive promotions with an impressive record of 110 goals in 170 games. His influence extended beyond the pitch, as he became a prominent figure in the club’s transformation under owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Despite facing some physical challenges in recent years, including back, knee, and hamstring issues, Mullin’s leadership and connection with the fans and squad make him a valuable asset for Wrexham as they push for a playoff spot in the Championship.
Wrexham are currently just one point away from the playoff places, and Mullin’s return could be the boost they need to secure a spot in the postseason. With his experience and goal-scoring ability, Mullin could play a crucial role in helping Wrexham achieve their goals this season.
