He has been eased back from that injury, with a first start of the 2023-24 campaign taken in last time out against Grimsby. Mullin is still working his way towards full match sharpness, but his presence in Phil Parkinson’s plans is being welcomed by playing and coaching staff.

WHAT THEY SAID

Palmer, who found the target on 18 occasions last term, has told of having Mullin by his side once more: "It is good to have my Scouse mate back! We have scored plenty of goals this season already but he is a player we will always miss and it is good to be playing with my partner in crime."

Wrexham, who continue to generate plenty of interest under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, now have an abundance of attacking options at their disposal – with Sam Dalby, Billy Waters, Jake Bickerstaff and Steven Fletcher also forming part of their striking talent pool.
