Career[]
Livingston[]
Mullen signed for Livingston at youth level in 2012 after being released by Aberdeen.[1] 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.[2] He scored his first goal for the club on 8 December 2012 in a 2–1 win over Dunfermline Athletic.[3] In total, he made 24 appearances in all competitions in his first season at the club, with most coming as a substitute.[4]
St Mirren[]
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.[5] 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.[6] In June 2020, Mullen left Saints when his contract expired.[7]
Dundee[]
On 4 August 2020, Mullen signed for Dundee, on a two-year deal.[8] Mullen scored his first goal for the club in his debut in a 0–2 win over Brora Rangers in the League Cup.[9]
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.[10]
In the opening game of the season, Mullen would suffer a serious ankle injury which would require surgery and keep him out for around 3 months.[11] He would recover earlier than expected and made his return in a home win against Aberdeen.[12] Mullen would find his shooting boots after returning, scoring goals in three consecutive games to help turn the club's form.[13][14][15]
