Mullin told not to give up on Wrexham dream

Following his heartfelt exposé in front of the television cameras, Paul Mullin has been instructed to hold onto his Wrexham dream.

During their first two promotions, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned Wrexham and played the lead role.

However, the striker watched closely last season as Phil Parkinson’s side advanced to the top of the Championship.

In the documentary “Welcome to Wrexham,” Mullin has admitted regret for his absence and questioned whether he would play for the club again. He claimed that he “resented” the decision to drop him.

Andy Morrell, a former Wrexham manager, hopes Mullin will contribute to the team’s development in 2025-26.

In the most recent Disney+ episode, which follows a time when the club’s top scorer for the previous three seasons was fired from the squad as a result of a lack of form, Mullin discusses his situation.

The 30-year-old said, “Playing one game of the Championship with Wrexham would be worth utterly everything.”

“I’ve enjoyed absolutely every minute of this story,” said one author, “and who knows where it might end.”

The club advanced to promotion without their one-time hero out of the blue because of Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez’s signings in January, forcing Mullin to fall back in the pecking order.

With the signing of Plymouth Argyle forward Ryan Hardie this week, Mullin has since been linked with a summer exit. This leaves questions over his future in north Wales.

However, Morrell, who contributed 96 to the Wrexham 269 games and is a regular pundit at games, believes Mullin, a cult hero among fans, has the talent to succeed in the second tier.

“We all know he’s got goals in him, he’s a finisher, and we’ve seen him show it against Championship sides in the past,” Morrell told Wales’ BBC Sport.

“I hope he recovers really well, does well in the pre-season, and perhaps makes the manager’s decision.”

Mullin missed the final three months of last season’s matchday squads and missed a league game after January.

Mullin’s emotion was apparent as he discussed the situation with mental performance coach Dan Donnachie in front of the cameras despite not having previously discussed it publicly.

Mullin claimed he had not fully recovered from back surgery and had missed the season’s opening.

In the internationally screened documentary, he states, “I understood I had to wait for an opportunity, but when it came, I thought it would be it and it would be a chance to carry on where I left off.”

I let it get to me, being honest, and it didn’t go as planned.

I disliked it, and I carried it for weeks because I thought it was unfair, despite being only allowed to play four games and being excluded from the team.

Mullin added that he had let go of his resentment and was happy that he had overcome a mentally challenging period, and that Parkinson had stopped “trusting” him on the pitch.

For a number of reasons, Mullin said, “I’ve not been able to give the best version of myself.” “But I have no doubt that I’ll eventually find myself again.

It’s beyond my control, they say, whether it’s happening here or elsewhere. You never know, but I hope it’s here.

Morrell claims Mullin’s “emotion is understandable because he’s worked so hard for the club” is understandable.

After the incident, which happened so quickly, from being the main man to being a member of the squad, he continued, “It’s difficult for any player to sit there watching, but especially for him.”
