Gary Thomas Mulligan (born 23 April 1985) is an Irish footballer who plays as a forward for Southern Football League club Kettering Town.
Coming through the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy in 2004, and played on loan at Rushden & Diamonds, before he joined Sheffield United the following year. He did not make a first team appearance for the "Blades", and instead was loaned out to Port Vale and Gillingham. In 2006, he transferred to Gillingham on a permanent basis, where he remained for three years before joining Northampton Town. In 2010, he joined non-league Gateshead. He signed with Brackley Town in February 2012, and helped the club to the Southern League title in 2011–12. In 2015, he signed for Kettering Town via Dunstable Town, and helped Kettering to win the Southern League Division One Central title in 2014–15.
Born in Dublin, Mulligan played his youth football at Belvedere before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers, for whom he made only one appearance, as an 82nd minute substitute in the 1–1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor on 21 August 2004. Wolves sent him on loan to Rushden & Diamonds in October that year. Mulligan made his debut for Diamonds, again as a substitute, in the 1–0 home defeat to Chester City, and made his first start, and scored his first goal, in their next match, a 1–1 draw away to Wycombe Wanderers. He scored three goals in twelve games for Rushden & Diamonds, but was released by his parent club at the end of the season.
