Wrexham have let Paul Mullin leave the club this summer and a second player could now depart on loan.

Paul Mullin was dropped by Phil Parkinson in the second half of 2024/25, not featuring in League One after January 28.

Mullin wanted to play in the Championship with Wrexham, but that will not be happening, at least for the next six months.

It comes after Mullin joined Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan deal last month, with the Welsh side paying 50 percent of his wages.

Wrexham could recall the striker in January if they wish, while another player could be sent out on loan by Phil Parkinson this summer.

After Paul Mullin, Wrexham could send second player out on loan

Modou Faal’s injury means a loan move for him, at least right now, is looking unlikely despite his very limited game time in 2024/25.

But another player could potentially depart the Racecourse Ground on a temporary basis.

Wrexham signed Danny Ward on a free transfer on July 1 after his contract with Leicester City expired.

It means Arthur Okonkwo, Ward, and Callum Burton are now likely to be Parkinson’s three main goalkeepers going into 2025/26.

As a result, it’s not too surprising to see Leader Live suggesting that a loan move for shot-stopper Luke McNicholas is possible in order for him to gain more experience.

Luke McNicholas Wrexham stats

The 25-year-old initially joined Wrexham on loan from Sligo Rovers in 2023.

He then completed a permanent transfer last year for somewhere in the region of £90,000.

However, his game time has been pretty limited, and he was loaned to Rochdale in the first part of last season.

In total, McNicholas has made three appearances for Wrexham, in which he’s conceded four goals and kept one clean sheet.
