Josh Mulligan

Josh Mulligan of Hibernian was born on 12 November 2002 (age 23).

Josh Mulligan, born on 12 November 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish centre midfielder now with Hibernian, where he wears the number eight shirt. His current market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career has been shaped mainly at Dundee. After early loan experience that gave him senior minutes without much fuss, he became a regular part of the Dundee side, making 95 league appearances and scoring five league goals across five seasons. His most productive league campaign there came in 2021-22, when he scored twice in 11 appearances.

Mulligan moved on to Hibernian, where his 2026-27 season has started in measured fashion. He has made one league appearance, one Scottish Cup appearance and two in Conference League qualifying, four games in all. His form has been steady rather than showy, which is not the worst description for a midfielder still settling into another stage of his career.

He was linked with Celtic in December 2025 while at Hibernian. For now, his story remains that of a Dundee-developed Scottish midfielder trying to establish himself properly at Easter Road after a long and useful spell at Dens Park.

Josh Mulligan has been used immediately by Hibernian in the 2026-27 Premiership, starting the opening league match and collecting a yellow card. Added to one Scottish Cup appearance and two in Conference League qualifying, his early workload points to a centre midfielder already involved across competitions rather than limited to one route into the side.

Mulligan's rating sample is still thin: his 2026-27 Premiership average is 6.31, with the same mark as both his high and low. That makes it too early to identify a trend, but the initial rating points to a steady rather than standout opening league appearance.

Mulligan is 23, Scottish, and plays as a centre midfielder for Hibernian with a €3.00m market value. His senior path has been narrow but progressive: developed through Dundee, took two loan moves to Peterhead, returned to Dundee, then moved to Hibernian in 2025. The repeat loans suggest a gradual build before becoming a player Hibernian were willing to sign permanently.

Mulligan's transfer history is dominated by Dundee and Peterhead until the 2025 switch to Hibernian. The two Peterhead loans, both followed by returns to Dundee, look like planned development moves; the later undisclosed-fee move to Hibernian is the first clear permanent change away from Dundee in the sequence.
