Paul Mullin leaves Wrexham AFC with something far bigger than a goal tally. He leaves as the symbol of a football club that remembered how to dream.
When Mullin arrived from Cambridge United in 2021, Wrexham were still outside the Football League and searching for a player who could turn ambition into reality. They found one. Across five unforgettable years, the striker scored 110 goals in 172 appearances, helped deliver three promotions and became Wrexham’s ninth-highest men’s goalscorer of all time.
The official club feature on his defining moments tells the story in numbers, but Mullin’s Wrexham career was about emotion as much as statistics. He gave the Racecourse crowd belief, edge and a regular reason to lose their voices. His goals were not just finishes; they were landmarks in a journey from National League frustration to Championship football. For three straight seasons, he was also Wrexham’s top scorer and Player of the Season, carrying expectation with a ruthless, fearless finish.
His greatest moment will always be Boreham Wood in April 2023. Wrexham had waited 15 years to return to the EFL, and when the pressure reached boiling point, Mullin delivered. His second-half double sealed a 3-1 win, the National League title and one of the most emotional nights in modern Wrexham history.
There were many more. The FA Cup run against Sheffield United introduced him to a global audience. His 100th Wrexham goal, against Colchester United in April 2024, underlined his place among the club’s modern greats. Even when injuries slowed him, including a punctured lung and later back surgery, his connection with supporters never weakened.
That is why his departure by mutual consent on June 26, 2026, felt like the end of an era. Reuters described him as the “face” of Wrexham’s fairytale rise, while Phil Parkinson said Mullin’s role “can’t be underestimated” and that he would be “remembered and revered” by supporters.
Fans online have said the same thing in their own language: legend. One supporter wrote that children would still be talking about him in 50 years. Another said Wrexham would not be where they are without him. Others called for a statue, insisted his song should be sung forever and described him as the biggest legend of the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney era.
Mullin summed it up best in his farewell message, saying Wrexham would always have his love and affection. For supporters, the feeling is mutual. Super Paul Mullin did not just score goals. He changed the story, the standards and the soundtrack of the club forever too.
