Career
[edit]Livingston
[edit]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]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+1⁄2-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]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]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]
