The prolific Wrexham striker was placed on standby when Wales boss Rob Page named his last squad. He was not drafted into the fold, but continues to knock on the door with his exploits at club level. Mullin hit 47 goals last season, as he helped to secure promotion back into the Football League, and has four efforts to his name this term.

Quizzed on Kammy & Ben’s Proper Football Podcast as to whether he hopes to be capped at some stage, Mullin said: “My dad’s mum was Welsh, she was born in Newport and grew up there. It’s something I would love to do. It would be a dream come true. I think it’s documented elsewhere that I’ve always said, even when I was younger, I never really followed the England national team. I’d love to represent Wales. It’s been said in quite a lot of places and surprisingly it got put forward to the Wales manager quite a lot last year. I don’t expect to be called up. I obviously hold out hope that if I’m playing well enough and somehow I get the chance to do so, I’ll be over the moon. It’s not something I expect, but it’s something I would relish and enjoy. I think I could do it.”
