WHAT MULLIN SAID

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The news will be a huge boost to Wrexham as they aim to continue their rise up the leagues. Mullin has established himself as a vital player, finishing last season with 47 goals in competitions and topping the scoring charts in the National League. However, it's Lee who is leading the way in the current campaign. He is the team's top scorer on 13 goals but has admitted he'd be happy for his team-mate to outscore him this season.

WHAT NEXT FOR WREXHAM
Wrexham will certainly be hoping that Lee and Mullin's goals will help propel them out of League Two at the first attempt. Phil Parkinson's side currently sit in third place in the table, just two points behind leaders Stockport but with a game in hand.
