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 central midfielder now with Hibernian. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career is still defined mainly by Dundee, where he made 95 league appearances and scored five league goals across five seasons. Early loan football helped harden him up, but Dundee was where he became a proper first-team player rather than a name on a development pathway.

His most productive league season at Dens Park came in 2021-2022, when he scored two goals in 11 appearances. That was not a huge return, but it showed the basic shape of his game: useful in midfield, mobile, and capable of contributing without being built around.

At Hibernian, Mulligan has remained involved rather than drifting to the margins. In 2025-2026 he has made 24 league appearances and scored one league goal, continuing as a regular first-team presence. He was linked with a move to Celtic in December 2025 while at Hibernian.

Mulligan is a developing Scottish midfielder whose senior career has been built largely at Dundee, with Hibernian now the next stage. He has enough experience to be judged on first-team football rather than promise alone.

Mulligan’s career path ran through Dundee, two loan spells at Peterhead and then Hibernian. The pattern was straightforward – early loans, returns to Dundee, then a permanent move in July 2025. At 23, his profile still read as a player moving through the Scottish game rather than one settling into a late-career role.

Mulligan twice left Dundee for Peterhead on loan, first in October 2020 and again in July 2021, and returned to Dundee at the end of each spell. His next move was permanent, joining Hibernian from Dundee for an undisclosed fee on 1 July 2025. The sequence suggested loans used for development before a paid move to Hibs.
