Josh Mulligan Transfer from Hibernian to Middlesbrough
Josh Mulligan is highly unlikely to join Boro this summer. Boro scouted and discussed Mulligan earlier in the summer after his breakout campaign for Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. After conversations to assess the situation, it was made clear to Boro that the 23-year-old was expected to have far more lucrative options this summer. While Boro like Mulligan, they quickly focused their attention elsewhere when their chances of signing him became apparent.
