Ah, Ryan Mullen. The lad was born on 18 May 2001 and would you look at that! He's already 23. Born and bred in Scotland, he's moved around a bit in the football sphere but currently safekeeping the goal at Greenock Morton. One of those towering figures at 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing in at 12st 8lb (80kg), he's a hard one to miss, especially perched in his signature number 1 jersey.
Now, let's take a wee walk down memory lane. Remember that faithful month in September 2020 when Mullen, after a stint at Celtic, the grand Scottish Premiership, decided to hitch his wagon at Cove Rangers of the League One, albeit temporarily. But life is full of surprises. October came along and there he was zipping back to Celtic, once again amongst the Premiership lads.
Then, as 2021 rolled in, Mullen, ever the nomadic spirit, decided to pack his gloves and venture to Queen's Park in the Championship in Scotland - another loan and another ticket on the roller coaster. But would you believe it, in June 2021, he found himself back at Celtic, the beloved Premiership, his loan spell over.
But Mullen is a lad who can't be tamed and thus in September 2022 he ran off again, this time hitching his star to Clyde in the League Two in Scotland. His debut season 2022 - 2023 at Clyde witnessed him flying into action thrice in league matches. Surely a heavyweight performer! But wait, there's more. In July 2023, our Mr Mullen, he of the flying gloves, decided to emigrate from Clyde to Greenock Morton in the Championship in Scotland.
His debut season at Greenock Morton wasn't too shabby with 23 league appearances to his name, and the lad’s still going strong. Just look at him now, in the current season 2024 - 2025, Mullen has got into the fray in six first team league matches. The stuff of legends, I tell you!
And if that's not enough, Mullen's been flaunting his goalkeeping skills in a few cups as well. Like that time he orchestrated four starts in League Cup 2024 - 2025 and three starts in the Scottish Cup 2023 - 2024, both for Greenock Morton. A career laden with cups, transfers and plenty turnarounds, I'd say our Mr Mullen's definitely been keeping busy!
