Former Wrexham forward Paul Mullin has agreed a two-year contract with Rotherham United, the League Two club has announced. The transfer follows Mullin's release by Wrexham earlier this summer after a five-year spell at the Racecourse Ground.
Deal subject to ratification
Club confirmation says the signing is subject to standard ratification processes with the English Football League and the Football Association, as well as international clearance. Mullin scored prolifically during his time in North Wales, recording 110 goals for Wrexham.
Ironically, the striker's final away goal for Wrexham came at Rotherham during the club's promotion-winning 2024-25 campaign, a moment that added a footnote to the move back to the Millers' club.
Mullin on the move
Speaking on Rotherham's YouTube channel, Mullin described the summer as a lengthy period of reflection and decision-making focused on his family and next career steps. He said discussions with Rotherham's manager and senior staff persuaded him the club offered the right opportunity.
"It's been a long summer for me. Just, obviously, after the last couple of years, it was just about taking my time and making sure something was right for me, my family to the next part of the chapter of my career and Rotherham was an opportunity I couldn't pass up."
The 30-something forward referenced plans set out by the manager and those above him at Rotherham, noting the potential the club has shown and his hope that the side can return to form.
Local context and implications
For Wrexham supporters, Mullin's departure marks the end of a significant era. He had been central to the club's rise in recent seasons, both for his goals and his public profile. His move to League Two reunites him with a club where he last found the net away from the Racecourse.
- Contract length: Two years (subject to clearance)
- Wrexham record: 110 goals across five years with the club
- Notable moment: Last away goal for Wrexham was at Rotherham during 2024-25 promotion season

As with all transfers, completion depends on the necessary paperwork and approvals. Supporters in Wrexham will be watching how the club replaces a long-serving goalscorer while Mullin aims to make an impact at his new club.
If ratified, the move will add another chapter to Mullin's career and represents a notable acquisition for Rotherham as they seek to rebuild and progress.
