Latics are back at the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday, Lincoln City are in town for a League One encounter, the referee for the game will be Carlisle official, John Mulligan.  |
The 34 year old is in his first season as a National List official, with just three EFL games under his belt, it is fair to say that Mulligan is at the beginning of his refereeing journey.
Those three games have all come in League Two, his debut being Port Vale’s 3:1 home win over Fleetwood in October.
Previous Games
This will be the first time John Mulligan has officiated, in any capacity, in either a Latics or Lincoln game. Coming up through the ranks quickly, Mulligan was promoted to and took charge of 14 National League games last season.
His 13 games this season have comprised of, 6 in the National League, 3 League Two, 3 in the EFL Trophy and 1 FA Cup game.
Speaking about his first game in the EFL, John Mulligan commented:
“I was quite emotional.
It’s a culmination of 16 years of dedication, sacrifice (both personal and professional) and ultimately hard work, all to purse the dream that every referee has when they first start, which is to referee in the Football League.”
