Career

Mullaney grew up playing for Eaglevale St Andrew's in NSW. Until in 2009 when he got the call up to play in the West Tigers Under 20's side.

Mullaney made records in the Toyota Cup, scoring a then record 325 points in a season. In his first season (2009) he scored the most tries with 29 and the second most goals with 103. Despite his achievements, he was not offered a contract renewal from the Wests Tigers, with club favouring James Tedesco. Still, Mullaney was described as, "the best fullback to come out of Western Suburbs since Brett Hodgson."[3]

In late 2011, the Parramatta Eels announced that Mullaney would be playing for them until late 2013.
