Salutations, let's discuss about our beloved compatriot, Josh Mulligan. Born in bonnie Scotland on November 12, 2002, which makes him a spry 23 years of age, Mulligan brings his artistry to the field as a central midfielder for Hibernian, earning himself the number 20 jersey. Just picture it, a lad standing at 5ft 8in (1.75m) and weighing a respectable 12st 1lb (77kg), orchestrating the beautiful game. Of course, his talents have not gone unnoticed - he's had the privilege of wearing Scottish colours internationally.
Before you start thinking about cheap Scottish jokes, Mulligans current market value is hovering around £1m, according to Transfermarkt. Nothing to be scoffed at, I assure you.
It all started in July 2017 when he joined Dundee as a trainee. The Premiership club must've seen something in him. During the 2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/24 seasons, Mulligan stepped onto the pitch for Dundee 60 times, contributing five goals - a creditable effort, indeed. Further displays of perseverance were evident in seasons 2024/25, where he made an impressive 34 league appearances, beckoning the applause from the crowds.
Our lad wasn’t always tied down to Dundee. A brief sabbatical to Cove Rangers and a drop down to League One in January 2020 on loan provided a wee change of scenery. He returned after the completion of his loan by June 2020. The same pattern followed, with a loan spell at Peterhead from October 2020, returning in June 2021 and then again venturing to Peterhead on loan from July 2021 and then returning back to Dundee in January 2022. The lad spent more time changing clubs than some of my mates do changing their socks.
Now behold, a fresh but gripping chapter unfolds in Mulligan’s odyssey. July 2025 saw him transferring from Dundee to Hibernian for a fee that those in the know have kept concealed. Should we take a moment to speculate on that fee...? No, we shall not. In the current season of 2025/26, he has already graced the field in the colours of Hibernian 22 times, scoring once.
Not just a league man, our Mulligan. He appeared in the League Cup 2025/26 and Scottish Cup 2025/26 for Hibernian, and also in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025/26, and Conference League Qualifiers 2025/26 where he found the back of the net once in his four starts. So there you go—a wee snapshot of Josh Mulligan's football career thus far.
