WREXHAM AFC co-owner Rob McElhenney has tipped club talisman Paul Mullin for greatness over in the USA.

Rob and friend and fellow chairman Ryan Reynolds took over at Wrexham in early 2021.

Since then, the club's popularity has risen to astronomical levels with the Welcome to Wrexham documentary only helping to boost it even further around the world.

That has earned the club - and indeed some of its players - new fans from the likes of the USA and Canada.

And co-chairman Rob believes that one player in particular could be set for superstardom overseas.

The It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor has tipped Wrexham's star striker to become one of the USA's 'most popular footballers'.

That bold claim came following Wrexham's 4-1 FA Cup win over Farnborough on Saturday (November 26), in which Mullin scored a hat-trick.

Taking to Twitter post-match, Rob wrote: "@PMullin7 is gonna make himself one of the most popular footballers in the United States."

That hat-trick on Saturday saw Mullin pass the 50-goal mark for Wrexham, who he only signed for in the summer of 2021.

Rob, Ryan and co will be hoping that he can help fire the Reds back into the English Football League come the end of the season, following a 15-year exodus.
