In the Hollywood era at Wrexham, few players captured the fans’ and owners’ imagination quite like Paul Mullin.
He scored 110 goals in 172 games, including 38 in the National League in the 2022-23 season to help the club back into the Football League after 15 years in the wilderness.
He had speaking roles in adverts and cameos in films alongside co-owner Ryan Reynolds, and his own place in club folklore with a massive mural in the city centre.
Without his goals, Wrexham would not have got back into the EFL when they did, and if they had not get back into the EFL when they did, the incredible rise the club have been on might not have been so rapid.
There may well be bigger and more incredible achievements to come in the next few years, but there is no doubting Mullin’s cult hero status at Wrexham.
He was the poster boy of those early years under the Hollywood owners and his departure – having not played for the club since February 2025 – is a sad end for a player who’s legacy will remain intact for years to come.
