Wrexham’s Paul Mullin Could Move to Wigan on Loan After Falling Out of Favor

Wrexham striker Paul Mullin is in discussions with Wigan Athletic about a temporary transfer, following a period where he has been sidelined by his current manager, Phil Parkinson.

The 30-year-old joined Wrexham in 2021 and played a vital role in the club’s success, contributing significantly to consecutive promotions and finishing as top scorer in both campaigns. The team secured another promotion at the end of last season, finishing second in League One.

However, Mullin’s involvement with the team has diminished since January, amid reports of disagreements with Parkinson. The arrival of new signings like Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez resulted in Mullin receiving less game time. Rumors also circulated suggesting Mullin had contacted owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to express frustrations.

Wrexham’s Paul Mullin is in discussions to leave on loan after falling out of favor.

There were reports of tensions between Mullin and manager Phil Parkinson earlier this season.

The potential move is also influenced by the signing of Plymouth Argyle’s Ryan Hardie, which further questions Mullin’s future at Wrexham. Although Mullin has downplayed any rift with the manager, a temporary exit seems probable.

Wigan has been interested in Mullin for several months, and negotiations for a loan deal are underway. He remains under contract for two more years and earns around £5,800 weekly.
