Paul Mullin: Striker not driven by records as he reaches Wrexham top 10

Paul Mullin says he is not interested in records despite entering the list of Wrexham's greatest goalscorers.

Mullin's hat-trick against Accrington Stanley led co-chairman Rob McElhenney to claim the striker has "inspired millions of people all over the world".

It also took Mullin's goal tally for the Hollywood-owned League Two side to 95, placing him 10th in the all-time scoring charts for Wales' oldest club.

"Records don't tend to drive me on," Mullin said.

"It's just a personal thing - I want to score because I want to win."

Club legend Tommy Bamford leads Wrexham's all-time list of leading scorers with an incredible 207, a tally which included 16 hat-tricks.

Mullin's 95 goals for Wrexham have come in just 129 games since he signed from Cambridge in 2021.

His Accrington treble last weekend was his sixth Wrexham hat-trick.

Mullin has 16 goals in 2023-24, which did not begin for him until September as a result of a punctured lung suffered in pre-season.

"It's not bad after missing 10 games at the start of the season," the 29-year-old said.

"I always want to do better. I did 47 [goals] last year. It'll be tough to beat that, but that's still the aim."

Mullin went eight games without scoring - his longest barren run since arriving at the Racecourse - before ending the drought with a last-minute penalty at Forest Green last week.

Manager Phil Parkinson suggested that goal has lifted the Wales-eligible forward going into the Accrington game.

Paul Mullin will aim to continue his good form this Saturday against Morecambe, having scored a hat-trick against the Shrimps earlier this season

But Mullin said: "It was not so much a personal boost to be honest, I don't tend to worry if I haven't scored goals in a couple of games.

"If you're not getting the chances to put them away, then there's not much you can do about it. I felt fine and I knew goals were going to come eventually. Every team goes through spells like that."

Parkinson revealed after the Accrington win that Mullin was to due have injections because of a problem he has been nursing around his back and hamstring.

"I've had it for a couple of months,," Mullin said. "It's more from my back. It's not something that bothers me too much when I'm playing and the adrenalin takes over.

"It's more just the morning after, but it's something I'm looking to take care of."
