His first start arrived on 12 October as the *Robins* hosted HTU and lost 6–2. Mulligan netted his second goal for the club on 29 October versus Southend Manor in the Errington Challenge Cup, which preceded further goals against Enfield (cup), Woodford Town and Enfield (both league) across the rest of the campaign; which was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Upon football's resumption for 2020–21, Mulligan scored a brace over Enfield in a 5–3 win on 26 September 2020 and a singular goal on 30 September versus Ilford across 19 appearances as the season was again interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020–21
Towards the conclusion of 2020–21, Mulligan took part in season three of the Hashtag Academy; reaching episode 5.

After appearing in the Hashtag Academy, Mulligan was subsequently moved into Jay Devereux's first-team squad for 2021–22 pre-season.

He featured further in friendlies with Frenford and Cray Wanderers, prior to scoring his sole HTU goal in an exhibition encounter at White Ensign; opening the scoring of an eventual 3–1 win. Another friendly appearance followed against Redbridge, though wouldn't take part further due to personal matters with his family. Mulligan would, however, reintegrate in August and subsequently made his competitive debut on 28 August in the Isthmian League - North Division at Dereham Town.

Mulligan wouldn't officially feature again for HTU's first-team, though he did play for Kiernan Hughes-Mason's reserves across September and October.
