BREAKING NEWS: Phil Parkinson, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Cut Off Paul Mullin Loan To Wigan Earlier Today, Now They Boldly Announce His Humble Return To Wrexham Red Dragons With A 3-Year Contract Extension – Sky Sports
In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events earlier today, Wrexham AFC manager Phil Parkinson, along with club co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, officially terminated striker Paul Mullin’s loan to Wigan Athletic, announcing instead his immediate return to the Racecourse Ground. The statement, released this morning, included the bold revelation that Mullin has now signed a new three-year contract extension, keeping him at Wrexham until at least 2028.
The news has sent shockwaves through both Wrexham and Wigan fanbases. Mullin, who had only recently joined Wigan on a short-term loan, was seen as a key piece in their push for promotion this season. However, sources close to the club say the decision was driven by a renewed ambition within Wrexham, coupled with the forward’s deep emotional ties to the Red Dragons.
“This club is more than football — it’s a family,” said Ryan Reynolds in a passionate social media post shortly after the announcement. “Paul belongs here. He’s not just a striker; he’s the heart of this team.”
Rob McElhenney echoed the sentiment, adding, “When we imagined the future of Wrexham, Paul Mullin was always in it. We’re thrilled to see him return home — and for the long haul.”
Manager Phil Parkinson addressed the media at a press conference, emphasizing the strategic timing of the decision. “We believe this is the right move both for Paul and the team. His leadership and goal-scoring instincts are crucial as we gear up for a pivotal season. We’ve been in constant contact, and when the opportunity to bring him back early came up, there was no hesitation.”
Mullin, visibly emotional during his first public appearance back in Wrexham colors this afternoon, expressed gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead.
“I’ve loved every minute playing for this club. Leaving, even temporarily, felt wrong. I’m incredibly thankful to the gaffer, to Ryan and Rob, and to the fans for believing in me. I can’t wait to get back on the pitch and do what I do best — score goals for Wrexham.”
The three-year contract extension is widely seen as a clear statement of intent from the club’s ownership, signaling that Wrexham is doubling down on its efforts to climb the football pyramid and build a sustainable future around core players like Mullin.
Sky Sports pundits have praised the move, calling it “a masterstroke of timing and leadership.” With pre-season preparations now in full swing and Wrexham aiming for back-to-back promotions, the return of their star striker could prove decisive.
Fans are already buzzing online, with the hashtag #MullinReturns trending across UK sports social media platforms within hours of the announcement.
As the new season looms, one thing is clear — Paul Mullin’s heart beats red, and Wrexham’s hopes just got a massive boost.
