The report further claims the striker clashed with manager Phil Parkinson in January and he hasn't kicked a ball since. Rumour has it the frustrated forward even phoned Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to vent his fury over being benched. And things have gone from bad to worse after the January arrivals of Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez saw Mullin slip further down the pecking order. Now the club have landed Ryan Hardie from Plymouth which effectively slams the door shut on Mullin's hopes of a comeback. Despite Mullin playing down talk of a rift, his days at Wrexham look numbered. Wigan have been circling for months and are finally pushing to seal a loan swoop. Mullin, who is on £5.8k a week and hastwo years left on his deal, could now be on the move as tensions boil over behind the scenes at Wrexham.

Paul Mullin closing in on Wrexham exit after Ryan Reynolds warning and 'resentment' claim
Paul Mullin closing in on Wrexham exit after Ryan Reynolds warning and 'resentment' claim Wrexham's Paul Mullin may be about to leave on loan to Wigan Athletic after falling out of favour under Phil Parkinson, despite being a key figure in the club's rise since 2021 Wrexham star Paul Mullin could be set to make a loan move to Wigan (Image: Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images ) Wrexham star Paul Mullin appears to be nearing an exit from the club as talks over a loan move to Wigan Athletic progress. The striker has been a talisman for the Red Dragons since joining in July 2021, scoring 110 goals across four seasons. However, he experienced a surprising fall from grace during the second half of their latest campaign after being frozen out of the squad by manager Phil Parkinson. Mullin struggled for form early this term after undergoing back surgery last summer. The 30-year-old swiftly fell down the pecking order after Parkinson strengthened his forward line by signing Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez during the January transfer window. It was a decision that paid off as Wrexham secured promotion from League One to the Championship in April, but could signal the end of Mullin's time with the club following the recent addition of Plymouth striker Ryan Hardie. Wigan have been strongly linked with the Liverpudlian following the end of the season and, according to the Mail, discussions are now taking place over a loan deal. Mullin, who is a popular figure with Wrexham's fans and Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has tried to play down rumours of a rift between him and Parkinson. But he admitted to feeling resentment at being left out of the team during a recently aired episode of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary. "I let that get to me, to be honest, from where I've been to then only being allowed to play four games and finding myself being left out of the team," Mullin said. "I resented it and I carried that for weeks because I felt it was unjust. Article continues below Paul Mullin could leave Wrexham despite being close with co-owner Ryan Reynolds (Image: Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images ) "I think I'm more annoyed now. It's the annoyance of training every single day, doing everything I can, and looking back on everything I've done. "I feel like I was a main part of why we got into this situation, and then I'm not being allowed the platform to get back there, or the opportunity to go and do it again. It's difficult. I don't know what's caused him (Parkinson) to trust me less, but he clearly does." Speaking in scenes recorded before the end of the season, he candidly added: "Just to play one game in the Championship with Wrexham would be worth absolutely everything. It would be the icing on the cake for this story and who knows where it could end. "I've enjoyed every minute here, and if we could get to the Championship, then that'd be phenomenal. From a personal point of view, I don't think I'll have any part to play in it from here on in."

Former Wrexham manager Dean Saunders recently said he believes Mullin has the potential to force himself back into Parkinson's plans. But the ex-Liverpool and Aston Villa frontman warned Reynolds and McElhennery that their favourite player would not find it easy at the next level. "I absolutely think Paul Mullin could score goals in the Championship," Saunders told "It wasn't long ago that we were talking about him playing for Wales. "He has always scored goals in every league he's played in, so he is capable of scoring goals in the Championship. But the defenders get better as you go up the leagues, so he will have to be smarter and work harder for every goal. Sign up to our newsletter!

Former Wrexham striker and manager Andy Morrell is another person who would like to see Mullin stay and fight for his place. Article continues below "We all know he's got goals in him, he's a finisher, and we've seen him show it against Championship sides in the past," Morrell told BBC Sport Wales this week. "I hope he comes back really fit and goes and smashes pre-season - and perhaps gives the manager a decision to make. His mind may already be made up, he (Mullin) may already have been told, but I'd love to see him give it that shot and make sure Phil Parkinson has got to make that decision."

Wrexham sent transfer message as former Man Utd star nears Premier League exit
Wrexham sent transfer message as former Man Utd star nears Premier League exit A veteran Premier League player is set to be available on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of June, with Wrexham being backed to make a move for him Signing Ashley Young would be a big statement by Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham (Image: Getty Images ) Premier League winner Ashley Young has been tipped for a sensational move to Wrexham as he approaches the twilight of his career. The 39-year-old, whose contract with Everton is set to expire at the end of June, has made it clear that retirement isn't on his agenda just yet. The full-back has an impressive track record, including stints at Watford, Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, not to mention his 39 caps for England. Young has amassed 485 Premier League appearances since his debut in 2006 and celebrated winning the league with United in 2013. Now, as he ponders his future, it's been suggested he should take a step down to the Championship with newly-promoted Wrexham. Ex-Everton winger Pat Nevin has put forward the idea, commending Young's remarkable fitness and suggesting he'd be an ideal fit for Wrexham, owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Speaking to Spin Genie, Nevin said: "Ashley Young is so weird. There is no way he should be so fit at the age of 39. If you're a sitting midfielder or number 10 who is waltzing about, it may be understandable, but he's a full-back bombing up and down the wing which is staggering. "He does, however, happen to be human, so it's inevitable he will drop off at some point. If he takes a step down, it needs to be for a project and Wrexham is one hell of a project. From my point of view, I would encourage it. I think it would be a really good thing for him to do.

"I dropped down a division later on in my career and it was possibly the happiest I ever was whilst playing. My advice would be that his next move won't be to Real Madrid, so he needs to do something he enjoys and ignore anyone who says, 'Oh, it's a step down.' "He would offer so much experience and leadership to that team. Who else has achieved what he has at Wrexham? It would all rub off on his teammates and be a win-win for both parties. Even if he got injured, he will add something massive off the field." Nevin added: "I love what Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have done at Wrexham. I've got time for anyone who can pick a club up and invest money to bring them back up the leagues. It might be annoying for the teams playing against them but that's what happens at every level of football." Wrexham have been linked with a string of Premier League stars after securing promotion from League One in April. Leicester hero Jamie Vardy and Fulham captain Tom Cairney are two of the biggest names connected with a move to the Racecourse Ground, along with West Ham duo Danny Ings and Aaron Cresswell.

Speaking on the RobRyanRed podcast, Reynolds said: "We're coming to win. I can't give you a dollar figure, but I can tell you that we are going to be as aggressive as we can possibly be while being mindful of sustainability. We have a stadium to revamp, but will still maintain its character and culture." Article continues below Even as they pick up the tab, McElhenney admits that he and Reynolds usually get wind of new signings quite late in the game. "I start hearing the names out there on social media or whatever, but we don't really know any of that until Phil tells us," he said. "By that point, it's already essentially happened."
