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

Dundee has shaped most of his career so far. He came through there, took early loan football on the way to senior rhythm, and then became a proper first-team player at Dens Park. Across five seasons he made 95 league appearances and scored five league goals, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2021-22, when he scored twice in 11 appearances.

Now at Hibernian, wearing squad number 20, Mulligan remains a regular part of the side rather than a squad extra. In 2025-26 he has made 24 league appearances and scored once, alongside appearances in the Scottish Cup, Europa League qualifying and Conference League qualifying. Across all competitions for Hibs that season, he has 31 appearances and two goals.

He was linked with a move to Celtic in December 2025 while at Hibernian. At this stage, though, his career is still best read through Dundee first, then Hibs: a developing Scottish midfielder with plenty of senior football already behind him and a continuing place in the team.

Josh Mulligan was a regular starter for Hibernian in the completed 2025-26 Premiership, making 24 appearances and starting 21 of them. His return of one league goal was modest for a centre midfielder, while seven yellow cards pointed to a combative role in the middle of the pitch rather than a major attacking contribution.

Mulligan's senior pathway has been relatively concentrated, with Dundee, Peterhead and Hibernian the clubs shown in his record. The pattern was development time away from Dundee, a return to establish himself, then a step to Hibernian at 23 – a progression within Scottish football rather than a journeyman career.

The transfer history shows two loan spells from Dundee to Peterhead, both followed by returns to Dundee, before an undisclosed-fee move to Hibernian in July 2025. That final move suggested an upward step in Premiership level, with Hibs investing in a player already familiar with the Scottish game.
