Josh Mulligan

Josh Mulligan of Hibernian was born on 12 November 2002 (age 23).

Josh Mulligan, born on 12 November 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish central midfielder now with Hibernian, where he wears number 8. His current market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Dundee has shaped his career more than any other club. After early loan spells helped move him from youth football into the senior game, he became a regular part of the Dundee first team, making 95 league appearances and scoring five league goals across five seasons. His most productive league campaign there came in 2021-2022, when he scored twice in 11 appearances.

He was linked with Celtic as a possible incoming transfer target in December 2025, a brief note in a career that has otherwise been built steadily rather than noisily.

By 2026-2027 he remained a regular presence, now at Hibernian. He has made 11 league appearances, along with two in the League Cup, one in the Scottish Cup and six in Conference League qualifiers, giving him 20 appearances for the club across all competitions. It is a career still centred on Dundee, but with enough current relevance at Hibs to keep him in view.

Mulligan's career path ran through three senior clubs – early development featured multiple short-term loans between Dundee and Peterhead from October 2020 through January 2022, he established himself at Dundee across subsequent seasons, and he completed a move to Hibernian in July 2025; the trajectory shows progression from repeated loan spells to steady Premiership involvement by his early twenties.
