McMullan then had an eight-month spell in Australia with Sorrento FC in the Western Australia State League, before returning to Scotland in January 2006, to play for Hamilton Academical. The player later moved on to Stranraer and Berwick Rangers and had a season at junior level with Glenafton Athletic where he reunited with his former manager at Raith, Gordon Dalziel.
