<p>The prolific frontman found the target on 47 occasions across all competitions last season, helping the Dragons to enjoy promotion back into the Football League and a memorable run through to the fourth round of the FA Cup.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mullin has endeared himself to a passionate fan base in North Wales – while club co-owner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-peculiar-reason-wrexham-co-owner-ryan-reynolds-fan-prolific-striker-paul-mullin/blt2ec15803abb456ad" target="_blank">Ryan Reynolds remains a big fan</a> – and the 28-year-old hopes that his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/partner-in-crime-wrexham-striker-ollie-palmer-scouse-mate-paul-mullin-back-punctured-lung/blt0f3a4119832d2e48" target="_blank">account for 2023-24</a> will soon be opened after recovering from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/when-paul-mullin-back-best-wrexham-punctured-lung-phil-parkinson-difficult-question/blt5034dc1af11a39d5" target="_blank">a punctured lung suffered during Wrexham’s summer tour of America</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking on season two of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary that has offered the League Two outfit a window to the world, Mullin said of his now instantly recognisable goal celebration: “Every time I score now, I’m going to make an ‘A’ sign for Albi. But also, it’s quite cool like an ‘A’ for autism as well. So whatever people want it to be for them, that’s perfect. Obviously for me, it’s for my little boy.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="et" dir="ltr">Paul Mullin ❤️<br><br>🔴⚪️ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WxmAFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WxmAFC</a> <a href="https://t.co/PBDLM7NZUI">pic.twitter.com/PBDLM7NZUI</a></p>— Wrexham AFC (@Wrexham_AFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wrexham_AFC/status/1704574608806912170?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 20, 2023</a></blockquote>
