Toby Mullarkey (born 4 November 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League One club Crawley Town.[3]

Career

[edit]

Born in Warrington,[4] Mullarkey began his career in the academy at Crewe Alexandra. After a period with Everton, Mullarkey returned to Crewe in 2013.[5] In March 2015, Mullarkey moved on loan to Leek Town.[6] After leaving Crewe without playing a first team match, he played non-league football for Nantwich Town and, from May 2019, for Altrincham,[7][8][1] before signing for Rochdale in January 2023,[9][10] and making his league debut in a 2–1 defeat at Salford City on 4 February 2023.[11]

Following relegation to the National League with Rochdale at the end of the 2022–23 season, Mullarkey signed for Grimsby Town after they triggered a release clause in his contract for an undisclosed fee ahead of the 2023–24 campaign.[12][13] He had been linked with a transfer to Grimsby before he signed for Rochdale.[14]

On 9 July 2024, Mullarkey joined newly promoted League One club Crawley Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[15][16]

Style of play

[edit]

He has been described as a "modern ball playing centre-back".[17] He "primarily plays as a right-sided centre-half, which remains his favoured position, although has also served as a defensive central midfielder and a right-back on other occasions".[14]
