Two Wrexham players named in League Two PFA Team of the Year after firing Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's side to promotion - but Stockport and Notts County dominate best XI

<p>Mullin missed the start of the 2023-24 campaign through injury – having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/end-of-world-paul-mullin-miss-six-months-wrexham-striker-ignoring-medical-advice-protective-vest-punctured-lung/blt8eb22ca8e1376573" target="_blank">suffered a punctured lung in a pre-season clash with Manchester United</a> – but did not take long to find his scoring boots and finished with 24 goals to his name, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-100-wrexham-goals-how-many-teams-scored-against-who-favourite-opponents/bltfa79fb08ee28a5f5" target="_blank">hat-tricks against Morecambe and Accrington</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/13122052/paul-mullin-my-hollywood-journey-with-wrexham " target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a> of helping the Red Dragons to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-hat-trick-wrexham-star-back-to-back-to-back-promotions-premier-league-dream-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt652ae6e2af31092d" target="_blank">promotion in successive seasons</a>: “Back-to-back wasn’t mentioned until it was achieved. We never get ahead of ourselves, that is one thing about this group – anything can go on around us, anything can happen, but we will always remain humble and know that hard work is what is going to get us to the next level.”</p>

WHAT MULLIN SAID

<p>Lee was another integral part of Phil Parkinson’s squad, as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-snubbed-only-two-wrexham-players-make-league-two-team-of-year-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-while-elliot-lee-misses-player-of-year/blt83fd08b96e988260" target="_blank">chipped in with 16 goals and pulled ball-playing strings</a> in Wrexham’s engine room, deservedly earning his spot in the League Two XI. He is joined in midfield for the League Two PFA Team of the Year by Mansfield’s Davis Keillor-Dunn and Notts County star Daniel Crowley.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="https://twitter.com/Wrexham_AFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Wrexham_AFC</a> Hollywood stars are here! 🎬<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PFAawards?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PFAawards</a> <a href="https://t.co/bW3s0p48tk">pic.twitter.com/bW3s0p48tk</a></p>— Professional Footballers' Association (@PFA) <a href="https://twitter.com/PFA/status/1825951306210533534?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 20, 2024</a></blockquote>

ELLIOT LEE EARNS HIS FLOWERS

<p>County also have a striker in the team, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-mullin-goal-rival-macaulay-langstaff-reacts-joke-wrexham-co-owners-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt6151a07fb9e82539" target="_blank">Macauley Langstaff winning the Golden Boot</a> with 28 goals his name.

A lot of people told me that the gap between the National League and League Two wasn't that big but I disagree - I think it's a noticeably higher standard, so to have outscored everyone else in the division is brilliant.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Jodi Jones, is the third Magpies representative in the fourth-tier selection. Title winners Stockport also boast a trio of picks, with goalkeeper Ben Hinchcliffe getting the nod alongside defensive colleagues Fraser Horsfall and Ibou Touray. Experienced Mansfield defender Aden Flint completes the XI.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt872563a33fccc0c8/unnamed.png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt872563a33fccc0c8/unnamed.png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt872563a33fccc0c8/unnamed.png?format=jpg" alt="League Two PFA Team of the Year 2023-24" data-source="PFA" data-copyright="PFA" data-portal-copyright="PFA" perform:prop="uuid:blt872563a33fccc0c8;width:2250;height:2813"></picture>
