June 2026 — Welcome to Wrexham Wraps, and We Say Goodbye to Mullin

A WrexPat's monthly look back at Wrexham AFC — June 2026

June closed the book on two different stories at once: Welcome to Wrexham's fifth season, and Paul Mullin's time at the club that made him a household name in the first place. Both endings landed the same week, and I don't think that was an accident.

"We Go Again," and one glaring omission

The Season 5 finale aired June 25th, tracking the playoff race down to the final day and closing with a Rob McElhenney line that's stuck with me since: "so much has changed, but the club always remains." Reviewers were largely positive, but several pointed out that the finale barely mentions Wrexham AFC Women winning the Genero Adran Trophy — the first Wrexham team ever to become champions of Wales. I'll say it plainly: that's a real miss. If the show is going to tell the whole story of this club, the women's team's title deserved more than a footnote.

Goodbye to Super Paul Mullin

On June 26th, Wrexham and Paul Mullin mutually agreed to terminate his contract. 110 goals for this club. I wrote about how much his departure stung back in July when the transfer rumors first circulated — living through the actual confirmation a year on didn't make it hurt any less, even knowing it was coming.

The Women's team kept building anyway

Ten Wrexham AFC Women players signed new contracts on June 10th, and Mikayla Cook joined from Cardiff City two days later. Whatever the documentary chose to focus on, the actual club kept investing in that side of the badge all month.

Summer business gets underway

The transfer window opened June 15th, with Parkinson flagging wing-backs, a holding midfielder, and a center forward as priorities — a familiar list from a year ago, which tells you Wrexham still hasn't fully solved it. A new kit-sleeve partnership with Nex Playground was also announced, and Libby Cacace and Dom Hyam returned from World Cup duty at month's end.
