Bantams make double swoop to boost promotion bid
Paul Mullin scored 38 league goals for Wrexham in their National League promotion campaign

Bradford City have increased their attacking options by signing Kayden Jackson from Derby County and bringing in Wrexham's Paul Mullin on loan for the rest of the season.
Bradford-born Jackson, 31, has penned a two-and-half-year deal with his home-town side after finding himself squeezed out at the Championship club this season.
Mullin, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Wigan Athletic, is also looking for a fresh start at the promotion-chasing League One club.
The 31-year-old is hoping the move to Valley Parade will provide him with the chance of more glory after firing the goals which propelled Wrexham from the National League to the Championship in successive seasons.
"I love success and being around successful people - coming here offers exactly that. There is an expectation from the fans which is big - that it is something which suits me," he told the club's website., external
Kayden Jackson spent six seasons at Ipswich Town before joining Derby County
The well-travelled Jackson, who was released by Bradford City's academy, has gone on to play more than 300 EFL games at Grimsby Town, Accrington Stanley, Ipswich and Derby.
"I have been away from home for a long time. For my family to be able to come and see me week in week out now, on their doorstep, it is a special feeling," he told the club website., external
Bradford's push for promotion from League One has stalled after three successive defeats, but Jackson and Mullin bring the number of signings in the January window to five following the arrivals of Newcastle United duo Harrison Ashby and Joe White, and Oxford United midfielder Louie Sibley.
