Paul Mullin endured a difficult 2024/25 season, in part due to his injury issues.

Paul Mullin missed the start of Wrexham’s League One campaign, seeing Jack Marriott and Ollie Palmer lead the line ahead of him.

The centre-forward returned to action after several weeks and scored a 16-second goal versus Rotherham United to get up and running for the season.

However, injury issues plagued Mullin throughout 2024/25, as he explained during the Welcome to Wrexham documentary.

The 30-year-old was still in pain for months after his comeback, and this impacted his form.

He is now on loan at Wigan Athletic, and there was fresh concern about his fitness this week.

Paul Mullin injury update

Mullin was injured for Wigan against Cardiff City this past weekend.

The Englishman shared an update earlier this week, suggesting he was unsure how bad the problem was.

However, Latics manager Ryan Lowe has now provided an update on the striker and it’s good news.

Mullin has had an ‘excellent’ recovery and should be in contention this week.

Lowe said, as per Wigan Today: “Mull had an excellent recovery day.

“He had a sore ankle, but he is a scouser, isn’t he? He’ll want to get through it and play. He will be with us still.”
