EVEN Cambridge United head coach Mark Bonner admits he has been left stunned by striker Paul Mullin’s sensational start to the season.
The 25-year-old made it ten League Two goals in just seven games when he netted a hat-trick in the U’s 3-1 home win against Port Vale in midweek, a result which kept them top of the table.
Indeed, Mullin had netted seven times in three games heading into yesterday’s tasty clash against Bolton, who were expected to field another League Two sharp-shooter in Eoin Doyle.
Doyle became widely known as the ‘Ginger Pele’ for his goalscoring feats with Swindon last term and U’s fans may have to think up a nickname of their own for redhot Mullin if he keeps hitting the target.
The former Morecambe, Swindon and Tranmere forward is in the form of his life and snapping him up has proved a masterstroke by rookie boss Bonner.
The 34-year-old, who is making a big impression at the U’s helm, had a sneak preview of what Mullin could offer when the frontman scored twice in six games on loan from Tranmere before lockdown pulled the plug last term.
