Career

Born in Burnley to Bernard and Mary Mullin, Mullin started his career with Accrington in 1995, making his first-team debut before being released.[2] He then played for Darwen, Trafford,[2] and spent two-and-a-half years at Clitheroe before joining Radcliffe Borough in the summer of 1998.[3] Two years later, in August 2000, he rejoined Stanley, newly promoted to the UniBond League Premier Division as champions,[4] for a fee of £15,000,[5] after a bid of £10,000 had been rejected the previous season.[6] He turned professional in July 2004, when Stanley went full-time after their first season in the Conference, during which Mullin scored 24 goals in all competitions and won the club's player of the year award.[7]

On 14 April 2007, Mullin broke Chris Grimshaw's record for club appearances for Accrington Stanley with 362 games, in a 4–1 victory against Grimsby Town. He scored the first of Stanley's four goals during the match. Mullin rejected the offer to be captain for the day to avoid getting himself into a testimonial mentality.[5]

In March 2009, Mullin joined fellow League Two side Bradford City on loan for the rest of the 2008–09 season, to replace Barry Conlon, who was loaned to Grimsby Town.[8] Bradford lost 1–0 to Port Vale on Mullin's debut the following day.

On 31 August 2009 Mullin signed for Morecambe on a one-year deal with option of further year, for an undisclosed fee. He scored his first goal for Morecambe in a 2–1 win over Notts County.[9] On 15 April 2011 Mullin announced his retirement from football.[10]
