The striker, who has become a club legend during his four years at Wrexham, responded to Reynolds' message with a love heart emoji.
Mullin's departure means he will miss out on his dream of playing in the Championship, despite Wrexham's promotion to the second tier for the first time.
The 30-year-old striker, who has never played at Championship level, had spoken openly about what it would mean to him.

"Just to play one game in the Championship with Wrexham would be worth absolutely everything," Mullin had explained earlier.
"It would be the icing on the cake for this story and who knows where it could end."
During his time at Wrexham, Mullin scored an impressive 105 goals in 165 appearances, playing a pivotal role in the club's rise from non-league to League One.

Mullin's fall from grace began with a series of injury problems and the arrival of new strikers, including Jay Rodriguez and Sam Smith last season.
The forward was not included in a single matchday squad by manager Phil Parkinson from February onwards, with competition intensifying after Wrexham signed Ryan Hardie from Plymouth earlier this week.
His final appearance for the club came against Peterborough in the EFL Trophy, where he missed a penalty in a shootout defeat.
