From a small island in Ireland with less than 800 people, Mullen started playing rugby when he was 12 years old in high school. He competed in Gaelic football for ten years and cycling for four years, as well as discus and shot putt in high school. In cycling, Mullen won All-Ireland U14 Gold Medal.

Through his age-grade career, Mullen played rugby for Munster U18, U19 and U20, as well as the USA U20s in 2011 at the World Rugby Trophy. He officially made his debut with the Eagles in June of 2018 against Russia and also earned a contract with the Houston SaberCats for the inaugural Major League Rugby Season that same year.

Mullen has a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Marine Resources Management from Texas A&M University at Galveston where he also played rugby.
