Quick Facts
PiscesBiography
Cian Mulligan (born 4 March 1996) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. He plays with Gaoth Dobhair and the Donegal senior inter-county team.
Playing career
Club
Mulligan won a Donegal Senior Football Championship medal with his club in 2018, scoring three points in the final.
He then played during Gaoth Dobhair's first ever Ulster Senior Club Football Championship-winning campaign later in 2018, a run which involved a quarter final defeat of Cargin (a game in which Mulligan scored a goal and a point), a semi-final defeat of eleven-time winners Crossmaglen Rangers (a game in which Mulligan scored a point), and culminated in the club defeating Scotstown (who had won the competition on four previous occasions), the last two of these games occurring at Healy Park in Omagh. Mulligan scored a point in the Ulster final, vital as the sides were separated by one point in the end, following extra time.
Inter-county
Mulligan won the 2014 Ulster Minor Football Championship title with Donegal; they defeated Armagh in the final. He played in the 2014 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship final loss to Kerry, scoring one point.
He made a substitute appearance in the 2015 Ulster Under-21 Football Championship final loss to Tyrone.
First featuring at senior level for his county under the management of Rory Gallagher, Mulligan started against Monaghan and against Mayo during Donegal's Division One campaign in the 2017 National Football League.
Under the management of Declan Bonner, Mulligan made a substitute appearance against Derry in the quarter-final of the 2018 Ulster Senior Football Championship, scoring a goal as his county progressed to the semi-final. He made another substitute appearance in the final and scored a point to help Donegal to victory.
