Wrexham forward Paul Mullin joins Wigan on loan

Wrexham forward Paul Mullin has joined League One side Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan deal. Mullin leaves the Welsh club, now in the Championship, after three consecutive promotions and 110 goals in 172 matches. The 30-year-old has been the poster-boy for Wrexham in the era of their Hollywood ownership, once described by co-owner Rob McElhenney as the most famous footballer in the U.S. not named Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Welcome to W̶r̶e̶x̶h̶a̶m̶ Wigan. 🎬#wafc 🔵⚪️ — Wigan Athletic (@LaticsOfficial) June 23, 2025 But he was largely sidelined by head coach Phil Parkinson last season, with Jay Rodriguez, Sam Smith, Steven Fletcher and Jack Marriott often picked ahead of Mullin in the match-day squad. After spells in both Liverpool and Huddersfield Town's youth set-ups, Mullin made his senior debt for Morecambe Town in 2014. The striker also played for Swindon Town, Tranmere Rovers and Cambridge United in the English Football League before a move to Wrexham, who were then in the National League, the fifth tier of English football, in the summer of 2021. His goals spearheaded Wrexham's back-to-back promotions to League One and he also played his part last season, scoring three league goals in just nine starts as Wrexham finished as runners-up to Birmingham City. Mullin's has enjoyed huge popularity in the U.S. and was handed a bit-part role in last summer's hit film Deadpool & Wolverine alongside Wrexham's co-owner Ryan Reynolds.

Graham Norton's NYC home has entered contract

Graham Norton's stateside home along Manhattan's historic Sniffen Court is under contract after less than 50 days on the market. The Irish comedian and broadcaster asked $5.59 million for the jewel box home, in Murray Hill, in early May. Sources told The Post that the property sold 'almost immediately' for 'very close to asking price.' Advertisement The rare listing along one of the city's few mews — secluded residential alleyways converted from pre-industrial horse stables — boasts 15-foot ceilings, a lilac stone fireplace and splashes of bold color throughout its three floors. 8 Norton's carriage house is one of just 10 along the landmarked alleyway.

WireImage Advertisement The 20-foot-wide dwelling spans roughly 2,500 square feet and comes with the added bonus of a 465-square-foot rooftop deck. 'There have been lots of parties, big and small, over the years,' Norton told the New York Times when it first listed. The London-based entertainer recently renovated and restored the historic property, the outlet reported, and at one time considered spending a future retirement in New York. Norton is not the first celebrity to call Sniffen Court home — he purchased his pied-à-terre in 2002 from supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Musician Lenny Kravitz and composer Cole Porter have also resided along the private alleyway. Advertisement 8 The three-story red brickk home enjoys large windows and an impressive skylight.

The gated stone street of humble origins has long been a highly coveted address. Advertisement 'Once you step into Sniffen Court there is no sense that you are in the heart of Manhattan,' Norton told the Times. Norton may be the best-known comedian to have graced Sniffen Court, but he certainly was not the first. American comedian Irwin Corey once lived across the alleyway, and incurred the wrath of a Landmarks violation in 1985 when he enlarged a part of the home without permits, according to a 1991 New York Times article. Long before Norton and Irwin, there was the Amateur Comedy Club. The 141-year-old private comedy club is the longtime occupant of 1 and 2 Sniffen Court, according to city records. The club is considered the second oldest group of amateur actors in the United States, but the group issues no tickets. Shows and social gatherings at the Sniffin Court Players' clubhouse are offered to members and invited guests only, according to the club's website. 8 Generations of artists and public figures have lived — and performed — along Sniffen Court.

The seller's agent, Corcoran's Chris Kann, declined to comment on the in-contract deal. Homes along other Manhattan Mews sell with similar speed. A rare listing along the Upper West Side's Pomander Walk listed in late May and entered into contract in less than 30 days.
