Career edit
Juniors edit
Having been signed as a youth player with a number of clubs,[3] Mullin dropped down to the Scottish Juniors with Pollok and Kilbirnie Ladeside.
Albion Rovers edit
Mullin's first appearance in senior football arrived when he signed for Scottish League Two club Albion Rovers in August 2014, having signed a pre-contract agreement with the club in March 2014.[4] His debut came as a second-half substitute for Gary Fisher, in a 2–2 draw with Airdrieonians in the Scottish Challenge Cup in July 2014,[5] whilst his first goal for the side was a 91st-minute strike in a 2–0 victory over Annan Athletic.[6] Mullin helped Rovers win the League Two title.[7]
Livingston edit
Mullin signed a two-year deal for Scottish Championship club Livingston on 1 February 2016, for an undisclosed fee.[8][9] Following the club's relegation to Scottish League One in May 2016,[10] Mullin helped Livingston return to the Scottish Championship at the first attempt,[11] with four goals[12] and five assists[13] in 27 appearances.
Ross County edit
Ross County announced the signing of Mullin on 28 May 2018 after he left Livingston under freedom of contract.[14] In his first season with the club Mullin helped County gain promotion back to the Scottish Premiership by winning the Scottish Championship and the Scottish Challenge Cup, coming off of the bench in the final of the latter to score twice.[15] On 2 October 2020, Mullin departed Ross County, after his request to leave was accepted.[16]
Livingston (second spell) edit
On 5 October 2020, Mullin returned to Livingston for a second spell, signing until the end of the 2020–21 season, with the option of a further two years.[17] He made his debut the following day, scoring twice in a 5–1 win away to Edinburgh City in the Scottish League Cup.[18]
In August 2021 he moved on loan to Hamilton Academical.[19] Mullin scored his first goal for Hamilton Academical on 26 December 2021 versus Kilmarnock[20]
Ayr United edit
Mullin joined Ayr United on a season long loan in August 2022.[21] On 31 January 2023, Mullin would depart his parent club Livingston by mutual consent, and would join Ayr United on a permanent deal the same day.[22]
