Career

[edit | edit source]

Livingston

[edit | edit source]

Mullen signed for Livingston at youth level in 2012 after being released by Aberdeen.[2] After progressing through the youth ranks at Livingston, Mullen made his debut for the first-team on 18 August 2012 against Airdrie United as a second-half substitute at the age of 17.[3] He scored his first goal for the club on 8 December 2012 in a 2–1 win over Dunfermline Athletic.[4] In total, he made 24 appearances in all competitions in his first season at the club, with most coming as a substitute.[5]

St Mirren

[edit | edit source]

With Mullen's contract at Livingston due to expire in 2018, Mullen moved to St Mirren in December 2017. He initially moved on an "emergency loan" basis, with a five-figure transfer fee due to be paid for the permanent transfer in January.[6] On 11 January 2018 it was confirmed that Mullen had signed a 2+12-year permanent deal with Saints, tying him to the club until the summer of 2020.[7] In June 2020, Mullen left Saints when his contract expired.[8]

Dundee

[edit | edit source]

On 4 August 2020, Mullen signed for Dundee, on a two-year deal.[9] Mullen scored his first goal for the club in his debut in a 0–2 win over Brora Rangers in the League Cup.[10]

Mullen would play a major role for Dundee in the Premiersip play-offs final, including scoring a key goal against Kilmarnock to help bring Dundee back to the Premiership.[11]

In the opening game of the season, Mullen suffered a serious ankle injury which required surgery and was expected to keep him out for around 3 months.[12] He recovered earlier than expected and made his return in a home win against Aberdeen.[13] Mullen found his shooting boots after returning, scoring in three consecutive games to help turn the club's form.[14][15][16] Mullen left Dundee following the end of his contract in May 2022.[17]

Partick Thistle

[edit | edit source]

On 21 July 2022, Mullen signed a one-year deal with Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle.[18] He scored on his debut for the Jags in a Scottish League Cup group stage win over Montrose.[19] Mullen would leave Thistle at the end of season following the expiration of his contract.[20]

Derry City

[edit | edit source]

On 6 July 2023, Mullen signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Derry City.[21][22] He made his debut the following day as a substitute in a home win over Sligo Rovers.[23] On 25 August, Mullen scored his first goal for the Candystripes in a league game away to Bohemians.[24] On 9 October 2024, Mullen signed a one-year extension with Derry, keeping him at Brandywell until the end of 2025.[25] On 12 November 2025, it was announced that Mullen would be leaving the club at the end of his contract, after scoring 21 goals in 85 appearances in all competitions during his 2 and a half years with Derry.[26]
