Wrexham look set to end the January transfer window in quiet fashion but Paul Mullin has been able to bring some fun to proceedings.
The transfer deadline will arrive in just a few hours now with Wrexham unlikely to make any more moves.
Phil Parkinson has added three new faces to his Wrexham squad as he gears up for the promotion run-in.
Ryan Longman joined Wrexham to add another option down the flanks, arriving from Hull City for around £500,000.
Sam Smith became Wrexham’s record signing on Friday as he completed a seven-figure move from Reading.
Smith was not the only striker to arrive though as veteran forward Jay Rodriguez completed a move from Burnley.

Paul Mullin cracks deadline day joke
Parkinson was open to more signings on deadline day but the final hours of the window have been quiet from Wrexham’s perspective.
We would anticipate no more incoming business for Wrexham but Paul Mullin has seen the funny side to a rather uneventful day.
Mullin has taken to Instagram to post of photo of himself at home, joking that he has completed a deadline day move – to his own sofa now his son has gone to bed.
‘Buzzing to sign @ the sofa now Albi has gone to bed,’ said Mullin,
Some wondered whether Mullin actually would be leaving Wrexham on transfer deadline day.
This season hasn’t been a vintage campaign for Mullin and the arrivals of Smith and Rodriguez sparked questions.
Mullin wasn’t involved against Crawley Town over the weekend, which sparked some conspiracy theories.
Parkinson has confirmed an injury for Mullin though and isn’t prepared to risk playing him before he’s ready.
Wrexham fans will be able to laugh at Mullin poking some fun at the transfer deadline, but Parkinson will probably just be pleased to see him resting up as he deals with his injury.

Paul Mullin part of stacked Wrexham attack
Mullin will certainly hope to make a big impact upon his return but he is now part of a stacked crop of Wrexham attackers.
Smith and Rodriguez started at Crawley on Saturday and will be primed for big roles moving forward.
Steven Fletcher and Jack Marriott were on the bench but Mullin was one of three strikers not involved.
Despite attracting interest, Ollie Palmer is staying at Wrexham and will be looking to force his way back in having been left out on Saturday.
We can’t forget about Modou Faal either; the deadline day signing from the summer is still at Parkinson’s disposal despite a quiet season.
Mullin is finding the fun in deadline day right now but will soon be one of seven strikers battling for just two roles in the starting XI – and he will be looking to rediscover his magic touch in front of goal.
