**One Record Could Explain Why Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer Are Backed for Wrexham Exits This Summer**
As Wrexham AFC gear up for life in League One, speculation is mounting around the futures of star strikers **Paul Mullin** and **Ollie Palmer**. Despite their iconic status at the club, one key statistic may explain why both are being linked with possible exits this summer.
The record in question? **Wrexham’s declining goal output per game** since promotion from the National League. While the Red Dragons stormed to the National League title in 2022–23 with an astonishing 115 goals — with Mullin and Palmer combining for over half — that figure dipped noticeably in League Two. Mullin still netted 19 league goals, but Palmer’s role and impact began to fade, particularly with younger, faster forwards emerging in Phil Parkinson’s plans.
This downturn has reportedly prompted Wrexham’s ownership and coaching staff to re-evaluate their attacking options. With the club now aiming to compete in League One and beyond, sources suggest that **restructuring the front line with fresh pace and physicality** is a priority — especially against tougher opposition.
Mullin, while still a fan favorite and club hero, may attract interest from Championship sides seeking a proven finisher. Palmer, 32, has been used more sparingly and may be open to a move elsewhere for regular minutes.
Both strikers have been instrumental in Wrexham’s rise, but with League One posing a new challenge, evolution may be necessary. Parkinson has made no final decision, but if Wrexham’s attacking record continues to slip, the exits of Mullin and Palmer — once unthinkable — may soon become a calculated step forward.
