Career

Born in Burnley, Mullin started his career with Accrington in 1995, making his first-team debut before being released. [2] [3] 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. [4] Two years later, in August 2000, he rejoined Northern Premier League Premier Division team Stanley for a fee of £15,000, [5] [6] after a bid of £10,000 had been rejected the previous season. [7] 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. [8]

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, scoring the opening goal of the game. Mullin rejected the offer to be captain for the day to avoid getting himself into a testimonial mentality. [6] During his time at the club, Mullin was awarded the Player of the Year accolade on four occasions. [2]

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. [9] 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. [10] On 15 April 2011 Mullin announced his retirement from football. [11]
