LEITRIM FORWARD EMLYN Mulligan has transferred back to his home club from Dublin senior football outfit St Brigid’s.
Mulligan has returned to Melvin Gaels after four years in the capital playing for St Brigid’s, the 2011 Dublin senior champions.
The inter-county player made the move in December 2012 but it has now been confirmed that he has switched back to his home club, with the transfer officially rubber-stamped yesterday by the GAA.
Mulligan hit 0-6 last Sunday for the Leitrim senior footballers in Carrick-on-Shannon as they lost 0-16 to 0-14 against Wexford in Division 4 of the Allianz football league.
The previous Sunday, he hit 0-3 in Leitrim’s 2017 league opener when they defeated Wicklow 1-17 to 0-10 in Aughrim.
Mulligan has been one of Leitrim’s best players since making his debut in 2008, scoring 0-10 against Galway in that championship season.
He suffered a cruciate injury in 2009 before taking a year out from the inter-county game in 2015, playing for the Donegal club in Boston that summer.
Last season Mulligan returned to sction with Leitrim, posting 0-3 in their Connacht defeat to Roscommon, kicking 0-3 in their All-Ireland qualifier win over Waterford and hitting 0-3 when they exited the championship against Sligo.

Typical Beckham soaking up the limelight and giving us tears, Scholes gets subbed last week in his final game after a greater career and just jogs off, no fuss
I like Beckham as much as the next fella but this is way OTT!
It shows how popular he is and how well he is respected by his peers. He won leagues wherever he went, no coincidence. A great professional.
In fairness, while not the most gifted player, he made the most of what he had both on and off the field. Not the first footballer to use his image well, but brought the marketing of footballers and their clubs to a whole new level. Football is a business whether we like it or not, ad this guy is good for business.
Send off a bit OTT, but he helped pave the way for making his teammates a lot of money from endorsements, put more emphasis on Ligue 1 and PSG. Crowd appreciate that too.
I hear he says he is still available for England if they need him , in his high pitched voice “I can never retire from England I love my country “
