Mullin was born in Bury, Greater Manchester. His career began at Burnley, and has taken in spells at Sunderland (where he had the distinction of scoring the winning goal in a Premier League game against Manchester United in 1997, and the final goal at Roker Park in a 1–0 victory over Liverpool [2] ), a second spell at Burnley and Rotherham United. Mullin left Rotherham at the end of the 2005–06 season and joined the manager that brought him to the Millers, Ronnie Moore, at Tranmere Rovers on a two-year deal.

Whilst at Tranmere he had a reasonable season the first year but his second season on Merseyside brought injuries and subbed appearances. He was first choice centre-mid with Paul McLaren in his first year and netted 5 times. He scored a volley at home to Bristol City in the last minute in Tranmere's 1–0 win. He also scored against Yeovil Town, Northampton Town (twice) and Chesterfield.

After being released by Tranmere at the end of the 2007–08 season, Mullin was signed by Accrington Stanley on a one-year contract rolling into a second year. After retiring he joined Burnley's youth set up as a coach before moving onto Manchester City. He is now part of the Manchester City recruitment team.
