Josh Mulligan (born 12 November 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as either a midfielder or defender for Peterhead, on loan from Dundee.[1]
Career[]
Mulligan made his first team debut with Dundee in the final game of the 2018–19 season against St Mirren, in which he came on as a substitute.[2][3] Mulligan would feature in the Scottish League Cup the following season.
In January 2020, Mulligan went on loan with Scottish League Two league leaders Cove Rangers until the end of the season.[4] Despite the early curtailment of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cove were declared League Two champions after a resolution to finish the season from the SPFL was passed.[5]
In October 2020, Mulligan signed a new contract with Dundee keeping him at the club until 2023, and immediately joined Scottish League One side Peterhead on a season-long loan.[6] Mulligan suffered an ankle injury early on in his club debut against Dundee United, and in November would undergo surgery that would keep him out until the following season.[7][8]
In June 2021, Mulligan would once again join Peterhead on a season-long loan.[9] Despite this, Mulligan would represent Dundee B against Peterhead in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[10] He would score his first senior goal with the Blue Toon in a 5–0 win against Dumbarton.[11] During his successful 2nd stint with the club, Peterhead teammate and media personality Simon Ferry compared his work-rate to that of Gareth Bale, and described him as "powerful, strong and direct", and as a "Rolls-Royce" footballer.[12][13]
