Well-known for his creativity and powerful presence in the final third, Mulhern becomes the latest major signing of the summer for Trinity boss Russ Wilcox. Adding to the capture of fellow striker, Jonny Margetts earlier in the Summer. Frank arrives at The Kal Group Stadium, Northolme, eager to make an impact in the Northern Premier League,
Starting his career at Leeds United, Frank moved to Huddersfield, going out on loan to Southport & Guiseley before joining Stockport County (then in the National League North). While at County, he got further experience at Boston United, before switching to Spenymoor.
In 2022/23, Mulhern moved from Spenymoor to Farsley Celtic, where he linked up with Russ Wilcox for the first time & enjoyed a productive campaign in front of goal. A real handful for defences, Frank hit double figures for the Celts, where he would have also lined up alongside a clutch of current Trinity squad members: George Hornshaw, Lewis Butroid & Bobby Johnson.
Wilcox praised the signing, "I first watched Frank play for Leeds United Under 21s at Elland Road ten years ago and he impressed me then. Several years later I signed Frank from Spennymoor Town for Farsley Celtic in the National League North. He’s played in that league for the last six seasons. He brings pace, power, experience, determination and quality to the front l
ine, plus goals."
"I’m delighted that he has agreed to join us here at Gainsborough Trinity - a very warm welcome Frank!"
Mulhern featured prominently for Scarborough Athletic last season, contributing with key assists and goals, but was among several players released as the club reshaped its squad for the 2025/26 campaign.
His availability alerted several clubs, but the Holy Blues' swift approach and ambition helped secure the deal.
Speaking after signing, Mulhern expressed his excitement:
“As soon as I spoke with Russ and heard the plans for the club, I knew this was the right move. I’m hungry to get going and help Trinity push up the table.”
With pre-season just around the corner, Mulhern’s arrival make people sit up and take notice.
Supporters will be eager to see the new man in action, hoping he can replicate the form that once made him a standout in the National League North.
