Career

Heart of Midlothian

Mullen joined the Heart of Midlothian youth academy aged 12. He progressed to the under-19 squad and was promoted to the first team on 10 December 2011, when he was an unused substitute in the match against Celtic. Mullen made his first team debut on 7 January 2012, in a Scottish Cup tie against Auchinleck Talbot; he took a penalty kick that was saved by the Auchinleck goalkeeper in the first half. Hearts manager Paulo Sergio described Mullen as his man of the match. His next appearance came the following season on 26 January 2013, playing from the start in a 2012–13 Scottish League Cup semi-final win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle. His season was ended prematurely as he suffered a fractured foot during an Edinburgh derby on 10 March, ruling him out of the 2013 Scottish League Cup Final. Mullen left the club at the end of the season after he was advised that he would not be offered a new contract.

Hibernian

Mullen signed a one-year contract with Hibernian, the Edinburgh derby rivals of Hearts, in June 2013. He then went on to score a free kick in his first game, a friendly against Gibraltar. Mullen failed to hold down a regular place in the Hibs first team, making just four appearances, with the last coming on 17 August and was allowed to leave the club in January 2014.

Raith Rovers

On 10 January 2014, Mullen signed a contract with Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers until the end of the 2013–14 season. He made his debut the following day, playing from the start in a 0–0 draw against Greenock Morton at Cappielow.
