Phil Parkinson has paid tribute to Paul Mullin after Wrexham confirmed the striker’s departure on Friday, describing him as a player who will be remembered and revered by supporters.
Phil Parkinson reflected on Mullin’s remarkable contribution after Wrexham AFC confirmed the striker had left the club following the mutual termination of his contract.
The words felt fitting. Mullin was central to Wrexham’s rise from the National League to the Championship and became one of the defining players of the Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds era.

The Wrexham manager reflected on the striker’s remarkable contribution during five unforgettable years at the STΕK Cae Ras.
“It can’t be underestimated the role Mulls has played in the story of Wrexham AFC over the last five years, with so many memorable goals and moments.
He’ll be a player always remembered and revered by our supporters.”
Here is the official post:
That assessment will resonate strongly with Wrexham fans, who have spent Friday paying tribute to a player who helped transform the club’s modern history.
Paul Mullin leaves behind a remarkable Wrexham legacy
Paul Mullin departs having scored 110 goals in 172 appearances for Wrexham, placing him among the club’s all-time leading goalscorers.
He helped deliver three promotions, played a leading role in the record-breaking National League title-winning campaign in 2022-23, and became one of the faces of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary as the club’s global profile grew.
His goals against Notts County and Coventry City will live long in the memory, but Parkinson’s tribute underlined that his influence extended well beyond statistics.
The manager’s reference to “memorable goals and moments” reflects a player who embraced the expectations that came with Wrexham’s new era and delivered when the club needed him most.
Parkinson’s words echo Wrexham supporters
Many supporters have described Mullin as a club legend since Friday’s announcement, while others have called for a statue and said his song should continue to be sung long after his departure.
Parkinson stopped short of using that exact label, but his tribute made clear how highly Mullin is regarded inside the club.
Few players have shaped a period of Wrexham success as dramatically as Mullin. Judging by Parkinson’s words and the reaction from supporters, his place in club history was secured long before his final appearance.
