Gary Mulligan

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Born in Dublin, Mulligan played his youth football at Belvedere before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers, for whom he made only one appearance, as an 82nd minute substitute in the 1–1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor on 21 August 2004. Wolves sent him on loan to Rushden & Diamonds in October of that year. Mulligan made his debut for Diamonds, again as a substitute, in the 1–0 home defeat to Chester City, and made his first start, and scored his first goal, in their next match, a 1–1 draw away to Wycombe Wanderers. He scored three goals in 13 games for Rushden & Diamonds but was released by his parent club at the end of the season.

Sheffield United

Mulligan was signed by Sheffield United in July 2005. He only made two appearances for them in the League Cup as chances at Bramall Lane were limited. In the 2005–06 season he went on loan to Port Vale for a month, which was extended by four weeks in October, and again in November, scoring once (against Walsall) in twelve games.

Gillingham

In January, he joined Vale's League One rivals Gillingham. He spent a month on the sidelines with ligament damage, which at first was feared to be a broken leg. Following his recovery he was back in the Gills' first-team and remained so until the end of the season. He scored one goal in 13 appearances for the "Gills".

"The only thing missing from his game is goals and hopefully they will come." His hard-working style had impressed Gillingham…

As of end of the 2025–26 season

After leaving full-time professional football, Mulligan now works as a P.E teacher at Kettering Buccleuch Academy.
