Mark McNulty is a goalkeeper for Cork City in the Republic of Ireland's FAI Premier Division. He is backup at Turners's Cross due to Michael Devine's superb form for the club.
[edit] Youths and U21 Level success
McNulty originally played as a striker for youths club Ballincollig, at the same club as future team mates Colin Healy and Alan Carey. He was the club's top scorer at every level from under-11 to under-17. He helped Ballincollig to League winning success at under-16 and under-18 level, being award Player of The Year at u16. McNulty then moved to Cobh Ramblers for a brief spell, before Cork City's successful eircom Under-21 League side under Stuart Ashton. Now in his role as goalkeeper, McNulty was a vital part of the side that won back-to-back U21 League titles in 2003 and 2004.
[edit] Professional
McNulty turned professional in 2006 and featured sporadically in vital matches such as the Setanta Cup. Injury deprived him of appearing in the UEFA Cup in 2005 as he lost the opportunity created by first-choice 'keeper Mick Devine's injury. Goalkeeping coach and Cork City F.C. veteran Phil "Biscuits" Harrington filled in admirably against Lithuanian side FK Ekranas.
