  Mullin was back in the starting XI and back in the goals on Tuesday night for Wrexham. The club's talisman, who has missed the start of the season through injury, opened the scoring in the team's Football League Trophy clash with Salford City. Mullin curled home a fine left-footed strike after 18 minutes to make it 1-0 and then celebrated by whipping out a Ryan Reynolds-inspired Deadpool mask.
