“I Don’t Class Myself English..” – Ryan Reynolds’ $265K Wrexham Goal Machine Paul Mullin Keen on Breaking 15-Year-Drought

Wrexham is enjoying a decent spell in the National League, as the club is ruling the fifth division. The Welsh club is in terrific form and continues to be in the spotlight around the soccer world.

A club that once struggled to win is now sitting at the top of the league. The new owners, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney, have given the fuel they needed. They are in contention to win the league and are in line for promotion.

Just like the club, the players have also come into the limelight as they continue to lead their side to glory. One of their star players, Paul Mullin, has taken the headlines thanks to his brilliant performance for the Dragons.

Wrexham star to end 15-year-drought

Paul Mullin has really shone for Wrexham. The talisman has caught the eye of the soccer world thanks to his brilliant form for the Reds. He even caught the attention of the Wales national team as it was merely impossible to ignore his dazzling form.

The national side was even considering calling up the striker for the 2024 Euro qualifiers. However, he was snubbed by Wales boss, Rob Page. However, he is still in line to receive a call-up, and the 28-year-old expressed his desire for the same.

“I’m from Liverpool but I don’t class myself English – far from it.” Mullin said. “I’d love to represent Wales. Being a part of Wrexham, I love the people of Wales. They’ve took me as one of their own, if I was lucky enough to get the opportunity I’d be ecstatic.”

The last time Wales called up a non-league soccer player was in 2008 when Wrexham’s Steve Evans was on Wales’s 2008 roster as he played against Russia. Now Mullin has that chance to break a 15-year-old drought. However, Rob Page settled with Millwall’s Tom Bradshaw and Ipswich’s striker, Nathan Broadhead. His side will be facing Croatia and Latvia in the upcoming qualifiers.

The race for accolades continues

Perhaps it isn’t the time for Mullin to get a call-up. However, that doesn’t stop him from continuing his goal-scoring record. He is the top-scorer for Phil Parkinson’s side and has been in terrific form. The striker is even in contention to win the golden boot, as he has scored 31 goals for the Red Dragons. Besides this, he is also the top scorer in the FA Cup, despite getting knocked out of the competition.

The player joined the club back in 2021 from League Two side Cambridge United. There he won the Player of the Year award and also lifted the Golden Boot, thus racking up 32 goals.

Following that year, he scored 26 goals in his first season, thus winning the National League’s Player of the Year and Golden Boot for the 2021–22 season. Let’s see if he will be able to clinch his third consecutive Golden boot. And who knows, he might be scoring for his national team as well.
