Mullin and Palmer have found the going tough in 2024-25. They have registered just three league goals apiece this season and have tumbled down the striking pecking order as result. It is proving difficult to earn spots in matchday squads at present.
DID YOU KNOW?
That is partly due to the fact that Wrexham broke their transfer record when acquiring Sam Smith in January, while also bringing in one-cap England international Jay Rodriguez. That pair have been earning favour from Phil Parkinson of late.

Wrexham’s manager has, however, said of Mullin and Palmer remaining part of his plans: "We’ve just got to make sure that we get the balance of the bench right which is absolutely key for us and every day, we continue to monitor the lads and look at everyone training. Who’s looking sharp, who’s looking ready.
"The lads out of the team like Mulls and Ollie, who have both made significant contributions for us, they’re right with the group training hard every day and waiting for the moment because you never know when that moment is going to come, and you’ve got to be prepared for it as Lewis Brunt was at the weekend."
