Paul Mullin has hit out at Wrexham after what he described as a forced exit from the club, bringing an emotional end to a spell that made him one of the faces of their rise through the divisions.
The striker, who played a leading role in Wrexham’s promotion push and became a fan favourite at the Racecourse Ground, suggested the decision to move him on was not one he wanted. In a pointed message shared after his departure was confirmed, Mullin made it clear he felt the club had pushed him out, despite everything he had given during a historic period for the Welsh side.
Mullin arrived with big expectations and delivered quickly, scoring heavily and setting the tone for a team that captured attention well beyond the pitch. His goals, work rate and connection with supporters made him a key figure as Wrexham built momentum and achieved the promotions that were targeted when the club’s high-profile ownership took over.
However, as Wrexham’s ambitions have grown—and the squad has been reshaped to match the demands of competing higher up the ladder—difficult calls have followed. Mullin’s comments indicate he believes he has been one of the casualties of that shift, leaving with frustration rather than the send-off he might have hoped for.
Wrexham have not publicly engaged with Mullin’s criticism, but the club have been active in refreshing their squad and adding experience as they prepare for the next stage of their project. Mullin, meanwhile, is now expected to weigh up his options and continue his career elsewhere, with his record sure to attract interest from clubs looking for proven goals and dressing-room presence.
For supporters, the split is a bitter note at the end of a remarkable chapter. Mullin’s contribution to Wrexham’s rise is secure, even if his departure has sparked an unhappy exchange that underlines how quickly football can change when clubs chase the next step forward.
