Club career
Prior to his tenure at Adelaide United during the A-League 2007-08 campaign, Mullen competed for the Para Hills Knights in the South Australian Premier League and was also part of the Australian Institute of Sport. Throughout his one-year contract, he appeared twice as a substitute and was subsequently signed as a youth player for the A-League 2008-09 season. His impressive displays in the A-League National Youth League earned him a place on the bench against Wellington Phoenix, where he entered the match in the 67th minute, substituting for Angelo Costanzo, helping secure a 1–1 draw.
From 2009 onwards, during A-League off-seasons, he has been loaned out to local Adelaide teams including Adelaide City and his former club, Para Hills Knights.
