Career

edit

Born in Middlesbrough,[1] Mulligan is a former scholar at Middlesbrough's Academy whose progress was halted when he contracted a form of cancer. He made a full recovery but failed to make the first team squad and left to the club to join Norton & Stockton Ancients.[2]

In October 2009 he signed for Darlington and made his league debut in a 2–1 away defeat to Hereford United on 31 October 2009.[3]

He was released by the club following their relegation from League 2, along with 13 other players.[4]

After playing for Whitby Town and Guisborough Town, he signed for Marske United in 2015. He subsequently moved on to Billingham Synthonia before signing for Stockton Town in July 2017. He played for the club until 2024, making 228 appearances and scoring 52 goals for the club during that time.[5] In 2024, Mulligan retired from playing and accepted a job in Stockton Town's management team.[6]
