Meet Mr Josh Mulligan, a hearty Scottish chap born on a frosty morning of 12th November 2002. Equipped with the staggering height of 1.75m (5ft 8in) and a substantial weight of 77kg (12 stone and a smidge), our lad serves the football community as a central midfielder for Hibernian. He also sports the snazzy number 20 jersey for those numb enough to seek him out on the pitch. When he isn't swanning about with Hibernian, he fancies himself as a bit of a Scottish nationalist, playing for the official Scotland team.
Now, before we go on, be warned that valuing a footballer is much akin to judging the price of an antique. Subjective, volatile, and subject to some online bloke in a digital ivory tower. But for those seeking some monetary value to our lad, Mulligan, Transfermarkt pegs him somewhere around £1.00m. Best to keep our scepticism in check, given football's swirling meteorology of market values.
Mr Mulligan's football journey started with a bang in July 2017 when Dundee FC took him on as a trainee. And boy, what a voyage of discovery it was. Dundee breathed life into Mulligan's professional career, with him donning the Premiership jersey multiple times and boasting a handful of goals to his name.
However, a mix of wanderlust or a nudge from the club saw Mulligan shipped off on a couple of loans. Cove Rangers in January 2020 and Peterhead in October 2020 opened their arms to him. Each return to Dundee was more like a reunion tour, bringing back old anecdotes and past performances to the fore.
Sadly, as all good things must come to an end, so did our lad's tenure with Dundee. He packed his bags in July 2025 and docked his ship at the good harbours of Hibernian. And no, dear reader, they didn't bother scratching their heads for a transfer fee, settling for the oh-so-diplomatic 'undisclosed' amount. In his current season with Hibernian, Mulligan has already marked his presence with competitive appearances and a consequential goal.
And yes, he did make some time for a rather scattered participation in the League Cup, Europa League Qualifiers, and Conference League Qualifiers. Scoring a goal here and there, always helps to keep up appearances, doesn't it?
