Hibernian

Mullen signed a one-year contract with Hibernian, the Edinburgh derby rivals of Hearts, in June 2013.[13] He then went on to score a free kick in his first game, a friendly against Gibraltar.[14] Mullen failed to hold down a regular place in the Hibs first team, making just four appearances, with the last coming on 17 August and was allowed to leave the club in January 2014.[15]

Raith Rovers

On 10 January 2014,[16] Mullen signed a contract with Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers until the end of the 2013–14 season.[17] He made his debut the following day, playing from the start in a 0–0 draw against Greenock Morton at Cappielow.[18]

Pollok

He was then named man of the match on his home debut the following week in a 0–0 draw with Largs Thistle.[20] A further man of the match award arrived in the Lok's 4–3 win at home to Annan Athletic in the Scottish Cup, where Mullen set up the first goal and scored a free-kick to make it 3–1.[21]
