Paul Mullin: Striker returns to Wrexham as Wigan Athletic loan cut short

Paul Mullin’s loan spell with Wigan Athletic has been cut short and the striker will return to Wrexham this week.

Manager Phil Parkinson confirmed the move after Sunday’s 2-1 victory at Derby County which moved the north Wales club to within a point of the Championship play-offs.

“Mulls’ loan spell has been terminated,” said Parkinson.

“We’ll have a chat with him this week when he comes back in. He needs to train this week as he’s missed a few days of training.”

Mullin, 31, played a pivotal role in Wrexham’s three successive promotions under Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, scoring 110 goals in 170 games and enjoyed a prominent role in the Welcome to Wrexham documentary series.

However, following the Red Dragons’ promotion to the Championship last season, he joined the League One Latics on loan for the duration of the 2025-26 campaign.

Mullin scored five times in 26 appearances for Wigan and leaves the Brick Community Stadium having been omitted from each of the club’s past four matchday squads.
