Wrexham legend Paul Mullin is set to join League Two newcomers Rotherham United, according to reports.
The 31-year-old brought to an end a five-year spell with the Red Dragons at the end of last season. He first made the move to North Wales in 2021 in what was seen as a shock move.
Fresh off the back of a 32-goal campaign with Cambridge United in League Two, Mullin opted to join the Hollywood-backed project at Wrexham in the National League. Although they missed out on promotion in 2022, they secured it in style the year after, with the striker netting an incredible 47 times in all competitions.
What followed next is well documented. Phil Parkinson’s side rose up the leagues in remarkable fashion, earning another two successive promotions to rise to the Championship.
Mullin Heads Back To Fourth Tier
Mullin is a player that has shown his worth in League Two over the years, although it’s fair to say he has struggled when playing above that level. Although he made 26 League One appearances during the 2024/25 season as Wrexham tasted further success, he scored just four times in 26 appearances.
He was loaned out on two occasions last season, first with Wigan Athletic before joining Bradford City in January. However, his time at Valley Parade was a disappointing one and he failed to find the back of the net in just nine outings.
It now appears as if a free transfer to Rotherham is on the cards. Journalist Pete O’Rourke claims the former Swindon Town forward was at the club earlier today head of finalising a move to South Yorkshire.

Rotherham Could Be Perfect Fit For Mullin
Rotherham are preparing for life in League Two for the first time since 2013 after suffering a shock relegation last season. They will be hoping to bounce back at the first time of asking under the guidance of Alex Bruce, who has taken on his first managerial role in the EFL.
The Millers have already brought in one striker in Fabio Tavares, who departed Burton Albion in May. Mullin could be the perfect partner, especially because he has hit 50 goals over his last two full seasons in the fourth tier.
Bruce will be hoping that they get that version of their latest recruit, whilst it gives the six-time promotion winner the ideal platform to show his doubters that he can still cut it at this level.
