Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney invested $2.5 million to bring a fifth-tier side in English soccer. Their aim behind bringing Wrexham AFC was to make the club a force to reckon with. In their attempt to take the club to the top, they made a massive signing in 2021, making the player the highest earner in the Vanarama National League.

Since his move to Wrexham, Paul Mullin’s salary has been the center of the discussion. His move raised many eyebrows, as the player gave up a chance to play in the third division of English soccer to play for the Red Dragons in the fifth division. Meanwhile, Mullin feels all the discussions about his salary are irrelevant.

Wrexham superstar unfazed with his salary discussions

Paul Mullin came from Cambridge United in 2021. Rob McElhenney was phenomenal in bringing the League Two Golden Boot winner to Wrexham for the 2021-22 season. Mullin’s goals helped the United team to get promoted to League One. However, in came the world’s third-oldest soccer club, who snapped the striker away from United.

It was a surprising decision for many, as ‘Super Mullin’ declined a contract extension offer from Cambridge United to play in the fifth division. Mullin cleared the air by saying he liked the ambition of the club, but his massive salary took the center. He became the highest-paid player in the history of the National League. Recently, Mullin contemplated on the discussions about his salary.

Wrexham striker spoke to GQ Magazine. On the question about the discussions about his six-digit salary, Mullin said, “No, it’s no one’s business, really. I find it quite funny that people care.” “I don’t say to my best mate who is a joiner, ‘How much do you get paid?’ It’s irrelevant, but for some reason, when it comes to football, people care about it,” he added.  

“I’m grateful I have a decent contract. Obviously, you always want it to be better. I can give Albi a better chance in life as he gets older. That’s all that matters,” the Wrexham star said. The Red Dragons will rely on their highest-paid player next season in League Two to create magic.
