Paul Mullin marked his goal for Wrexham on Tuesday night by putting on a mask of Deadpool, the superhero portrayed by the club’s co-owner, Ryan Reynolds.
Reynolds, along with actor Rob McElhenney, co-owns Wrexham, a club that has achieved back-to-back promotions to reach League One, with Mullin playing a pivotal role in their success.
Paul Mullin has overcome an injury-plagued start to the 2024-25 campaign, making a strong return in Wrexham’s 2-1 victory over Salford City in the Football League Trophy on Tuesday.
Mullin struck first for Wrexham just 18 minutes into the match and celebrated in style, donning a Deadpool mask.
In the latest Deadpool film, titled Deadpool & Wolverine, Mullin portrays a character called “Welshpool,” a version of the superhero with a Welsh flag emblazoned on his costume.
Fellow Wrexham striker Ollie Palmer also makes a brief appearance in the film.
Mullin, 29, joined Wrexham in 2021 and has been a crucial figure in the club’s resurgence under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
