Toby Mullarkey

Toby Mullarkey (born 4 November 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for club Crawley Town.

Career
Born in Warrington, Mullarkey began his career in the academy at Crewe Alexandra. After a period with Everton, Mullarkey returned to Crewe in 2013. In March 2015, Mullarkey moved on loan to Leek Town. After leaving Crewe without playing a first team match, he played non-league football for Nantwich Town and, from May 2019, for Altrincham, before signing for Rochdale in January 2023,  and making his league debut in a 2–1 defeat at Salford City on 4 February 2023.

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. He had been linked with a transfer to Grimsby before he signed for Rochdale.

On 9 July 2024, Mullarkey joined newly promoted League One club Crawley Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Style of play
He has been described as a "modern ball playing centre-back". 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".
