Wrexham man, James McClean has opened up about star man Paul Mullin and just how good he has been for the Reds.
James McClean signed for Wrexham over the summer and has featured in nearly 1000 minutes in League Two so far.
With Phil Parkinson in charge, the Reds currently find themselves in second position in the league and still in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy.
The Dragons have had an excellent start to the season and have only lost two games since their promotion.
The club have continued their great form from the last campaign and so has star man, Paul Mullin. Despite missing out on the start of the season due to injury, he has started nine games and been involved in five goals.
What has James McClean said about Paul Mullin?
The Irishman has had plenty of Premier League experience during his career. With spells at Wigan, Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion, he has brought plenty of experience with him to The Racecourse.
In his time with the Reds so far he has registered two assists and scored his first goal for the club against Port Vale recently.
Speaking with Leader Live, the new signing has opened up about what it is like to play with Welshman, Mullin.
Speaking about the number 10, McClean said: ” When you have good strikers and goal scorers, they are always in the right area.
“I have been a wide man my whole career, you put the ball in a dangerous area and you are hoping they are there and a lot of the time they are because they are goalscorers.”
There aren’t more dangerous than Mullin around in the EFL right now. With 85 goals in just over 100 appearances, he is a bagsman, to say the least.
The deadly nature of the former Cambridge man makes life much easier for his teammates as they know to look for him.
On that point, McClean said: “I put the ball across the box and that’s what the man does, he scores goals. I rate him very highly, his record speaks for itself.”
With that being said, he isn’t just a fox in the box, Mullun can score those types of goals but isn’t adverse to a wondergoal.
This wasn’t lost on the Irish wingback: “He is a striker who can score all different types of goals; he is not just someone who scores six-yard tap-ins.
“We are very lucky to have him.”
That sentiment is shared by every Wrexham fan and while he was out injured he was definitely missed despite the form not dipping.
