Wrexham icon Paul Mullin linked with Rotherham United after brief Bradford City loan spell
A former Bradford City loanee is reportedly nearing a move to Rotherham United
Paul Mullin is reportedly closing in on a return to Yorkshire with Rotherham United following his loan spell at Bradford City.
The 31-year-old was an established EFL figure before his move to Wrexham in 2021, but his exploits with the Red Dragons took his profile to another level.
As Disney cameras followed the club’s progress under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Mullin fired Wrexham through the divisions.
His goals helped the club rise from the National League to the Championship, the level at which he was deemed surplus to requirements.
He had loan spells at Wigan Athletic and Bradford last season, making 26 appearances for the former and nine for the latter.
Rotherham United linked with Paul Mullin
According to Football lnsider’s Pete O’Rourke, Rotherham have agreed a deal to sign Mullin following his Wrexham release.
Posting on X, he said: “Former Wrexham striker Paul Mullin has agreed a deal to join Rotherham on a free transfer. Mullin was at the club today finalising the move.”
Mullin would arguably be a shrewd addition to a Rotherham squad in need of additions - and he certainly knows where the back of the net is at League Two level.
The marksman has made a total of 274 appearances at fourth-tier level, registering an impressive 93 goals and 26 assists.
Paul Mullin’s icon status at Wrexham
After Mullin’s Wrexham departure was confirmed upon the conclusion of the last campaign, Wrexham co-owner McElhenney said: “There is no more powerful feeling than the belief that we are a part of something larger than ourselves. It gives us meaning and purpose. It evokes moments of intense gratitude in times of triumph or tragedy because we are never truly alone.
“There are always people right beside us to pick us up when we fall. But… there are some people, very special people, who are out in front, blazing a trail of radiant light, excellence for the rest of us to follow. Even if we know that their brilliance may not be attainable for us as individuals, their presence alone lifts the collective to unimaginable heights. They make us believe.
“Thank you Paul Mullin for becoming that beacon of radiant brilliance for this club and this community. Thank you for showing us what is possible. Thank you for making us all believe."
