Wrexham’s Mullin joins Bradford City on loan

Bradford City have increased their attacking options by signing Wrexham striker Paul Mullin on loan for the rest of the season.

The 31-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at Wigan Athletic, where he scored five goals in 26 appearances in all competitions.

Mullin, who helped Wrexham win promotion from the National League to the Championship in successive seasons, said the move to Valley Parade will provide him with the chance to be involved in another promotion-winning campaign.

“I love success and being around successful people – coming here offers exactly that. There is an expectation from the fans which is big – that it is something which suits me,” he told the club’s website.

Bradford’s push for promotion from League One has stalled with three successive defeats but they have been active in the January transfer window.

Mullin is the Bantams’ fourth signing after Newcastle United duo Harrison Ashby and Joe White, and Oxford United midfielder Louie Sibley.

“Paul brings us a wealth of experience and know-how, with an ability to score all types of goals,” said manager Graham Alexander.
