- BREAKING: Paul Mullin Signs Multi-Million Dollar Contract Extension with Wrexham AFC, Declares Lifelong Loyalty to the Club: โIโll Die a Wrexham Manโ
In a stirring and emotional announcement that has set the football world alight, Wrexham AFC have confirmed that their talismanic forward Paul Mullin has signed a multi-million dollar contract extension, solidifying his future with the club and pledging an unbreakable bond with the Red Dragons.
Speaking in front of an ecstatic crowd at the STลK Cae Ras and joined by co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Mullin left no doubt in anyoneโs mind about where his heart lies. โIโll die a Wrexham man,โ he declared passionately, sending fans into thunderous applause. โThis club saved my life, gave me purpose, and made me believe again. Iโm here until the very end.โ
A Heroโs Journey: From League Two to Club Legend
Since his arrival in 2021, Paul Mullin has transcended the definition of a club strikerโbecoming not just Wrexhamโs most prolific goal-scorer in modern history but also a symbol of the clubโs rebirth, pride, and fight.
After helping to secure back-to-back promotionsโfrom the National League in 2023 to League One in 2024โMullin has consistently delivered when it mattered most. His blend of fierce finishing, relentless work ethic, and emotional connection to the fans has earned him a reputation as one of the most beloved figures in the clubโs long and storied history.
In his 150+ appearances, Mullin has netted more than 100 goals, many of them crucial winners, last-minute equalizers, and show-stopping screamers that have turned him into a cult icon far beyond the city of Wrexham.
โA Moment Weโll Remember Foreverโ
Ryan Reynolds, visibly emotional during the contract signing event, described Mullinโs extension as โa moment weโll remember forever.โ
โThis isnโt just about football,โ Reynolds said. โItโs about loyalty, love, and legacy. Paul Mullin is Wrexham. And having him commit his future hereโit means the world. Heโs not just staying; heโs cementing his place in football folklore.โ
Rob McElhenney echoed the sentiment, adding, โWhat Paul has done for this club canโt be measured. Heโs been our heartbeat, our rallying cry, and our inspiration. He deserves every bit of this deal and more.โ
Multi-Million Dollar Deal Reflects His Value
While exact figures were not disclosed, insiders suggest the contract is worth more than $5 million over the next four years, with bonuses tied to goals, appearances, and future promotion milestones. The club has also introduced lifetime ambassadorial perks, meaning Mullin will remain connected with Wrexham even after he hangs up his boots.
It is by far the biggest player investment in the clubโs history, but one that fans, analysts, and ownership see as both deserved and essential.
โMullin couldโve taken big offers abroad or elsewhere in the Championship,โ said football pundit Gary Lineker. โBut he stayed. That says everything about who he isโand what Wrexhamโs become.โ
“I Belong Here”
Speaking exclusively to club media after the signing, Mullin gave a heartfelt interview explaining his decision.
โThere were options, yeah. Clubs came calling. But none of them felt like home. Wrexham isnโt just a team I play forโitโs a part of me now. My son Albi was born while I was here. This town looked after me during the toughest moments of my life. How could I ever walk away from that?โ
He continued: โThe people of Wrexhamโthey believed in me, even before I believed in myself again. So Iโm staying. Iโm finishing what we started.โ
Mullinโs bond with fans has only grown deeper over time. His advocacy for autism awareness, inspired by his son, and his openness about mental health have made him more than an athleteโheโs a role model. His honesty, vulnerability, and commitment have made him as much a legend off the pitch as on it.
Whatโs Next for Wrexham?
With Mullinโs future now secured, attention turns to the upcoming 2025/26 League One season. The Red Dragons are poised to push for yet another promotion, aiming to return to the Championship for the first time since 2004.
Manager Phil Parkinson praised the decision: โYou canโt build a dream without your foundation. Paulโs our foundation. His passion, professionalism, and pure talent give us a chance in every game. Weโre building this next chapter around him.โ
Training resumes later this week, and Mullin will be front and center, not just as a strikerโbut as a symbol of what Wrexham stands for.
Fans React: โHeโs One of Usโ
The reaction from supporters has been nothing short of euphoric. Chants of โMullinโs Red Armyโ echoed through the streets as fans gathered outside the stadium to celebrate the news.
โHe stayed for us!โ one fan shouted, tears in her eyes. โIn a world where loyaltyโs rare, Mullinโs shown it still exists.โ
Another simply said: โHeโs not just a footballer. Heโs one of us.โ
