A former England schoolboy under 18 international and England colleges under 19 international. After leaving South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, Mullings began his career as a trainee with Bristol Rovers, turning professional in July 2005. His league debut came on 31 December 2005 when he was a second-half substitute for Craig Disley in Rovers' 2–1 defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers.[1] He made three further league appearances, all as substitute, that season, but failed to feature in the 2006–07 season and was loaned to Clevedon Town in October 2006.[2]
He was released by Rovers at the end of the 2006–07 season[3] and joined Torquay United in June 2007.[4] He scored on his Torquay debut, but was later sent off as Torquay won 5–4 away to Histon on 18 September 2007.[5] He was loaned to Tiverton Town in November 2007[6] and was released by Torquay at the end of the season[7]
Mullings joined Conference South side Weston-super-Mare on trial in July 2008, scoring on his debut in a 1-1 pre-season draw against Exeter City. He signed a contract with Weston in August 2008.[8] He has now joined Conference North side Gloucester City and scored on his debut in a friendly against Bitton. In March 2014, Mullings jumped ship to fellow Conference North side Oxford City, citing financial reasons. After a few months at Weston-super-Mare, Mullings re-joined Gloucester City. After a season and a half back at the club, he left to join fellow National South side Chippenham Town in November 2017.
