Ciarán Mullan

Ciarán Mullan is a Gaelic footballer, born on 22 March 1984, who plays in the forward line for the Derry county team and for his club, St Matthew's Drumsurn. He was part of the Derry minor side that won the 2002 Ulster and All-Ireland Minor Football Championships, and he later played for the Derry Under-21 team that finished runners-up in the 2004 Ulster Under-21 Championship. He made his Derry senior debut in 2004, although his first Championship appearance did not come until a qualifier against Kildare in July 2006. Most of the 2007 season was lost because he was in the United States, where he played for the Four Provinces team of Philadelphia that won the New York Senior Football Championship. Back with Derry in 2008, he helped the county reach the Dr McKenna Cup final, lost to Down, and win the National Football League by beating Kerry in the final.
