Swindon Town has lost one of its key strikers as Paul Mullin joins Rotherham United on a two-year deal. The forward, who spent the 2017/18 season at the County Ground, has joined the Millers following the expiration of his contract at Wrexham. During his time with Swindon, Mullin made 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 goals, including netting on his league, League Cup, FA Cup, and EFL Trophy debuts.
What happened?
Mullin's time at Town was marked by a promising start with goals in his first two appearances-a header in a 2-1 win at Carlisle and another in the League Cup against Norwich City. However, with competition from Luke Norris, Kaiyne Woolery, and later Marc Richards, Mullin was often rotated between starting and substitute appearances and never fully nailed down a regular starting spot. He scored his final goal for Swindon on the last day of the season in a 3-0 win over Accrington Stanley, who were promoted as champions, but Phil Brown decided not to keep him.
Why it matters for Swindon Town
Mullin's departure is a significant blow to Swindon Town's attacking lineup, and the club will need to regroup and find a replacement for the experienced striker. With their next fixture against Grimsby on February 27, 2027, Swindon Town will be looking to bounce back from this transfer setback and make a strong push for promotion in the upcoming season.
What comes next?
Swindon Town will be looking to strengthen their squad in the coming weeks, and the club's management will be working hard to find a suitable replacement for Mullin. With the transfer window still open, there is still time for Swindon Town to make some key signings and shape their squad for the upcoming season. Next fixture: vs Grimsby (away, 2027-02-27) (16th in the table).
