Wrexham’s Key Players to Watch

Wrexham have built a strong squad capable of competing with established clubs, and several players have been central to the team’s success.

Paul Mullin remains one of the club’s most important attackers. Since joining Wrexham, he has scored over 100 goals for the club, becoming a fan favourite thanks to his sharp finishing and relentless work rate.

Alongside him, Ollie Palmer offers strength and aerial ability in the forward line. Palmer has contributed numerous goals and assists while helping create space and opportunities for teammates.

In midfield, Elliot Lee has become one of the most productive players in the squad. Known for his intelligent movement and attacking instincts, Lee has delivered 20+ goals across recent seasons, adding creativity and goal-scoring from midfield.

At the back, Ben Tozer continues to lead the defence while also posing a threat with his famously long throw-ins, which regularly create dangerous chances in the penalty area.

Hull’s Strength and Experience

Hull arrive with a squad that blends youth and experience. Midfield playmaker Jean Michaël Seri is known for his composure on the ball and ability to control the tempo of a match. Meanwhile, winger Jaden Philogene has impressed with his pace and dribbling ability, contributing important goals and assists.

Hull’s attacking options and strong midfield presence mean Wrexham will need to be organised defensively while taking advantage of their home support.
