Paul Mullin has rejected a new contract at Cambridge

The 26-year-old striker scored a club-record 32 goals last season as the U’s earned promotion to Sky Bet League One.

Head coach Mark Bonner told the club’s website: “We felt it was a really good offer from our side and the best we could offer.

“Regardless of where Paul ends up, he goes down in history for what he achieved for us last season and we wish him really well.”
