Toby Mullarkey (born 4 November 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays for Grimsby Town, as a defender.[2]
Born in Warrington,[1] Mullarkey began his career in the academy at Crewe Alexandra. After a period with Everton, Mullarkey returned to Crewe in 2013.[3] In March 2015, Mullarkey moved on loan to Leek Town.[4] After leaving Crewe without playing a first team match, he played non-league football for Nantwich Town and, from May 2019, for Altrincham,[5][6][7] before signing for Rochdale in January 2023,[8][9] and making his league debut in a 2-1 defeat at Salford City on 4 February 2023.[10]
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.[11][12] He had been linked with a transfer to Grimsby before he signed for Rochdale.[13]
He has been described as a "modern ball playing centre-back".[14] 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".[13]
