In a twist that reads like a script from a Hollywood blockbuster, Paul Mullin, who played a pivotal role in Wrexham’s National League title-winning campaign in 2022-23, made his triumphant return to the pitch after a harrowing injury. The 28-year-old striker has been sidelined since suffering a punctured lung and four cracked ribs during Wrexham’s pre-season tour of America when they played against Manchester United.
The Red Dragons’ star forward, donning the famous red and white stripes, made his dramatic comeback as a substitute in the 59th minute against Doncaster Rovers, and his presence on the pitch was a major factor in Wrexham’s 2-1 victory.

He has been a key player for us over the last couple of seasons and the incident in America was a real setback, you can’t deny that. We have missed him but the lads have done incredibly well while we have been waiting for Mulls to come back,” Parkinson said.
