The season in the English Football League is coming to a climax. Although all the promotions and relegations haven’t been confirmed, the EFL’s teams of the season are no longer in suspense. However, despite Wrexham booking its spot in League One after an incredible spell by Paul Mullin, the club’s other two players have made it into League Two’s Team of the Season.

There is no doubt that the 29-year-old has put on a masterclass this season with 23 goals in 36 matches. But that did not qualify him into the list of best attackers in League Two. In the recently announced best eleven of League Two, Wrexham’s midfielder Elliot Lee, along with their goalkeeper, Arthur Okonkwo, sealed their spots on the list.

Meanwhile, the two players chosen in Mullin’s position as forwards were Macaulay Langstaff of Notts County and Matt Smith from Salford City. Mullin may consider himself a bit unlucky sheerly because of the impact he had on Wrexham’s promotion. Apart from his goals, the striker also helped the team with seven assists in the league and scored two incredible hat tricks this season.

Meanwhile, the other two players have also contributed with goals and assists, but Notts County is placed 14th in the League, whereas Salford City is 20th. Additionally, Smith, even though scored the same amount of goals as Mullin in more matches, has three fewer assists than the Wrexham forward.

On the other hand, Langstaff seems to be running away with the Golden Boot this year with 27 goals. Nevertheless, the Red Dragons’ fans will be pleased to see Elliot Lee and Okonkwo getting their much-deserved places. The English goalie proved a worthy signing this season after arriving from Arsenal for a one-year loan. The 22-year-old just conceded 29 goals in 34 games with 13 clean sheets. Nevertheless, the club considers Mullin to be one of their key players.

Proving that sport is not just about awards, Wrexham’s manager Phil Parkinson calls Paul Mullin, a big game player. A few days ago, Mullin won the March Player of the Month in League, which led Parkinson to say, “It’s a fully deserved accolade,” “Mulls is a big-match player and time and time again he produces moments when you need them the most,” acknowledging how pivotal the player is.

Moreover, the 56-year-old boss also hailed Lee for being listed in TOTY and lauded both players for deserving their awards. Overall, despite Mullin being snubbed, the Hollywood stars’ team is excited to move to League One after 15 years. And with the platform getting wider, Mullin is expected to do greater things in the future.
