NOT content with scoring more than 40 goals this season - Paul Mullin is now the king of the castle!

The top Wrexham AFC striker has been at the iconic Conwy Castle to help support the next generation of talented North Wales players.

Paul, who is touted as a future Welsh international player, was taking part in a McDonald's fun football programme event at the site.

All the success for the Welcome to Wrexham star started during his youth football days.

"Anyone who volunteers to help youth teams should really be held up as a pillar of the community - they give their time to give back to kids who need help," he said.

"It is all about spotting problems when kids get to 16 to 18 and onwards - there are different problems in the country and people fail to realise where it comes from.

"People volunteer their time to take the kids away from being naughty on the streets where they can get mixed up in the wrong things. It's to provide them with an opportunity to get active and get out the house.

"They are unbelievable, and they should be really held up as pillars of the community."

As for his own progression from the youth ranks to the senior side, Paul said: "Well, my mum and dad were most instrumental."

A big back garden to play football was crucial to his development, as was the competive aspect playing against his two brothers and sister!

"They gave me the chance to play and the chance to practice every single day," he added.

"I really wish I had McDonald’s Fun Football to go to as well, I would’ve loved it!"

Paul has gone on to become a global icon, thanks FX show Welcome to Wrexham.

"The success of the documentary has been magnificent for the club on the whole - the attention it receives is worth a billion for the club from a business and exposure point of view," he said.

"But for the lads on the pitch, it doesn't really affect us. We don't think about it.

"Obviously we talk about sometimes and have a laugh.

"We don't get affected by it, we just try to play football because ultimately that's what we're there to do.

"And if the football is no good then the documentary is going to be even worse - so pressure is on us to deliver on that front."

Paul is coming to the end of his second season at The Racecourse, having signed from Cambridge United before the start of the 2021-22 season.

"Wrexham has been unbelievable for me and, more importantly, the fact that I get to see my kid every night," he said.

"Obviously, I've documented he’s got his problems and often, as best we can, we've been able to spend the time with them.

"It just means I'm forever grateful for Wrexham for signing me in the time that they did, then I enjoy it and love it every day. It’s class."
