The pair helped the Red Dragons to promotion out of the fourth tier, with Phil Parkinson’s side claiming a runners-up finish a year on from landing the National League title. They gave Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney plenty of drama for the club’s popular documentary series.

Mullin passed the 100-goal mark for Wrexham during the 2023-24 campaign, hitting 24 in League Two to finish behind old adversary Macaulay Langstaff of Notts County in the Golden Boot stakes. Lee, meanwhile, found the target on 16 occasions – a career-best return for him – while also weighing in with a number of important assists.
DID YOU KNOW?
County star Jodi Jones was, however, the most creative player in League Two over the course of the campaign – as he broke a record held by Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry when it comes to most assists in a single English season.
WHAT JONES SAID
Malta international Jones teed up 24 efforts for his team-mates, with that return seeing him to the PFA League Two Player of the Year award. He said of making history: “You hear people talk about strikers getting 24 or 25 goals, but with assists you hear more about 12 or 13, so when I do sit back and sometimes think I have 24 you do think it's some achievement. Getting 24 is amazing and if I'm being really honest, I don't think I'd get that many again.”
