While many clubs are looking at new signings, Wrexham were keen to keep two of their best
Lee has been attracting attention from sides such as Birmingham City in recent weeks having scored 13 goals in League Two so far this season.
Speaking after putting pen to paper on his three-year extension, Lee said: ‘It means a lot.
‘When I signed 18 months ago, there were high expectations but not I even saw just how well it was going to go. I’m delighted to be extending my stay with Wrexham.
‘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.’
Mullin isn’t far behind Lee’s scoring with his eight and has previously been linked with a move away from Wales, where he has outperformed expectations.
After signing his new deal, Mullin revealed his delight as 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.
‘The chance to perform in front of the support we receive is something you long for as a child. Here’s to creating more memories to last a lifetime – up the town!’
Elliot Lee has been attracting interest from higher up the Football League but is eager to stay
Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson believes that the most important thing heading into the January transfer window was to tie two of their best players to new deals for the future.
‘We’re delighted we’ve agreed deals with Paul and Elliot,’ he said. ‘They are two really key players for the Club moving forward.
‘There’s always a lot of talk going into a transfer window, but the most important thing is to keep hold of your best players – they are two very important signings for us, and we’re very pleased to have agreed deals with them.’
Wrexham now look to back up their early gift to fans by securing three points against League Two promotion rivals Barrow on Monday.
