Irishman Oisín Mullin will be at Geelong for at least the next two years, signing a contract extension until the end of 2027.
Mullin was identified after establishing himself in Gaelic football playing in two All-Ireland finals at just the age of 21, while also earning GAA All Star selection and Young Footballer of the Year in 2020.
After signing with the Cats in October 2021 as a Category B rookie and arriving at the end of 2022, Mullin debuted Round 9, 2023 and played six games in 2023, followed by 12 matches 2024, including two finals.
On Tuesday, Cats players will train in their junior or local football jumpers to highlight the contribution regional football clubs make to the game of Australian Football.
For the second year, the Cats will wear a regional guernsey in Sunday’s game against Port Adelaide, which features the colours of every player’s junior or local club – whether Australian Rules or Gaelic Football – in a stripe around waist.
The now 25-year-old Mullin has played 18 games so far this season, having only missed Geelong’s round 6 match, initially playing across half back before spending time in the midfield playing on some of the opposition’s best players.
Geelong Cats Executive General Manager of Football Andrew Mackie said the club was excited to see Mullin continue his career with the Cats.
“Oisín has shown enormous growth in a short space of time and continues to impress us with his work ethic and willingness to learn,” Mackie said.
“As with all our Irish players, we understand the enormity of the decision to move to Australia, we love having Oisín as part of our program and we can’t wait to see him play an important role for us over the next two years and beyond.”
Mullin becomes the latest Cat to recommit to the Cats in 2025, after emerging defender Connor O’Sullivan signed a two-year contract extension last week.
