Career

McMullan started his career at Heart of Midlothian, making his senior début on 16 February 2002, in a match away to Kilmarnock.[1] During his four-year spell at Hearts, he went on to play a role in the club's 2002–03 season, when the club finished third in the Scottish Premier League. McMullan played in two Edinburgh derby matches that season, including a game that Hearts won 5–1 at Tynecastle in August 2002.[2] McMullan left on a loan period to Queen of the South in December 2003, before leaving Hearts in the summer of 2004.[3]

After joining Inverness Caledonian Thistle, McMullan moved to Raith Rovers in January 2005, without making a league appearance for the Highland club.[4] McMullan then had an eight-month spell in Australia with Sorrento FC in the Western Australia State League, before returning to Scotland in January 2006, to play for Hamilton Academical.[5][6][7] The player later moved on to Stranraer and Berwick Rangers and had a season at junior level with Glenafton Athletic where he reunited with his former manager at Raith, Gordon Dalziel.[8]

McMullan signed for Clyde in January 2011, before moving to Elgin City in January 2012.[9][10]

On 21 May 2014, McMullan signed for East Stirlingshire,[11] but having only made three appearances for the club due to injury, his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2015.[12]
