Wrexham striker Paul Mullin in talks to join Wigan on loan after being frozen out by manager Phil Parkinson

Wrexham striker Paul Mullin is in talks to join Wigan Athletic on loan after falling out of favour at the newly-promoted club.

The 30-year-old joined Wrexham in 2021 and helped the club achieve back-to-back promotions, top scoring in both campaigns

The Red Dragons were promoted once again at the end of last season after finishing second in League One.

However, Mullin was not involved past January after a reported disagreement with manager Phil Parkinson.

The January signings of Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez saw Mullin increasingly marginalised. 

And there was talk that Mullin had called Wrexham’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to complain. 

There were reports of a falling out between Phil Parkinson and Mullin earlier this season 

And the signing of Plymouth Argyle forward Ryan Hardie has placed further question marks over his future.

Mullins has attempted to play down any talk of a rift between him and his manager but a summer exit now looks likely, at least on a temporary basis.

Wigan have been linked with the player for the past few months and are now discussing a loan deal.

Mullin still has two years remaining on his contract, which sees him earn £5,800 a week.
