Career

Having been signed as a youth player with a number of clubs,[2] Mullin dropped down to the Scottish Juniors with Pollok and Kilbirnie Ladeside.

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.[3] 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,[4] whilst his first goal for the side was a 91st-minute strike in a 2–0 victory over Annan Athletic.[5]

After helping Rovers to the League Two title[6] and leaving the Rovers in a secure position in the top half of League One, Mullin signed a two-year deal for Scottish Championship club Livingston on 1 February 2016, for an undisclosed fee.[7][8] Following the club's relegation to Scottish League One in May 2016,[9] Mullin helped Livingston return to the Scottish Championship at the first attempt,[10] with four goals[11] and five assists[12] in 27 appearances.

Ross County announced the signing of Mullin on 28 May 2018 after he left Livingston under freedom of contract.[13] 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.[14]
