As the clock struck midnight on New Year's Day, there was plenty of merriment around the globe - and in Wrexham there were a few more fireworks than expected.

Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney had planned something special as we head into 2024.

At 12:01am, the club's official X account posted the news of two huge deals for the club.

The message read: "Wrexham AFC are delighted to be kicking off 2024 with confirmation Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee have signed new contracts, until 2027

"Blwyddyn Newydd Dda, Happy New Year!"

Reynolds added: "Happy New Year, Wrexham AFC."

While McElhenney said: "Good start to 2024 ;)"

Striker Paul Mullin has continued his excellent form after promotion to League Two with 10 goals in 19 games despite an awful pre-season injury.

He said: "I'm unbelievably happy and grateful to extend my stay at Wrexham. Since signing for the Club, I've loved every single second.

"It's not just become my Club, but my whole family also.

"It's a special feeling playing for the Club. Growing up, it was Newcastle and West Ham I had an affinity too and wanted to play for, but I feel I have that now with Wrexham.

"To represent the team, the badge and the people of Wrexham is a special feeling - I love playing playing for the Club."
