- BREAKING: Paul Mullin Signs Multi-Million Dollar Contract Extension with Wrexham AFC, Declares Lifelong Loyalty to the Club: “I’ll Die a Wrexham Man”
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 STōK Cae Ras and joined by co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Mullin left no doubt in anyone’s mind about where his heart lies. “I’ll die a Wrexham man,” he declared passionately, sending fans into thunderous applause. “This club saved my life, gave me purpose, and made me believe again. I’m here until the very end.”
A Hero’s Journey: From League Two to Club Legend
Since his arrival in 2021, Paul Mullin has transcended the definition of a club striker—becoming not just Wrexham’s most prolific goal-scorer in modern history but also a symbol of the club’s rebirth, pride, and fight.
After helping to secure back-to-back promotions—from the National League in 2023 to League One in 2024—Mullin 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 club’s 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.
“A Moment We’ll Remember Forever”
Ryan Reynolds, visibly emotional during the contract signing event, described Mullin’s extension as “a moment we’ll remember forever.”
“This isn’t just about football,” Reynolds said. “It’s about loyalty, love, and legacy. Paul Mullin is Wrexham. And having him commit his future here—it means the world. He’s not just staying; he’s cementing his place in football folklore.”
Rob McElhenney echoed the sentiment, adding, “What Paul has done for this club can’t be measured. He’s been our heartbeat, our rallying cry, and our inspiration. He deserves every bit of this deal and more.”
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 club’s history, but one that fans, analysts, and ownership see as both deserved and essential.
“Mullin could’ve taken big offers abroad or elsewhere in the Championship,” said football pundit Gary Lineker. “But he stayed. That says everything about who he is—and what Wrexham’s become.”
“I Belong Here”
Speaking exclusively to club media after the signing, Mullin gave a heartfelt interview explaining his decision.
“There were options, yeah. Clubs came calling. But none of them felt like home. Wrexham isn’t just a team I play for—it’s 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?”
He continued: “The people of Wrexham—they believed in me, even before I believed in myself again. So I’m staying. I’m finishing what we started.”
Mullin’s 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 athlete—he’s a role model. His honesty, vulnerability, and commitment have made him as much a legend off the pitch as on it.
What’s Next for Wrexham?
With Mullin’s 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: “You can’t build a dream without your foundation. Paul’s our foundation. His passion, professionalism, and pure talent give us a chance in every game. We’re building this next chapter around him.”
Training resumes later this week, and Mullin will be front and center, not just as a striker—but as a symbol of what Wrexham stands for.
Fans React: “He’s One of Us”
The reaction from supporters has been nothing short of euphoric. Chants of “Mullin’s Red Army” echoed through the streets as fans gathered outside the stadium to celebrate the news.
“He stayed for us!” one fan shouted, tears in her eyes. “In a world where loyalty’s rare, Mullin’s shown it still exists.”
Another simply said: “He’s not just a footballer. He’s one of us.”
A Story Still Being Written
In a time when the football landscape is often marked by transfers, high wages, and fleeting commitments, Paul Mullin’s extension with Wrexham is a powerful reminder of what makes the game magical—loyalty, love for the badge, and a burning desire to make history with the people who believed in you.
He may have come from Liverpool, but Paul Mullin is now—and forever—Wrexham’s own.
And if his words hold true, when the final whistle of his playing career blows,

He will have died a Wrexham man. 🟥⬜🟥
