Patrick Michael Mullins (born February 5, 1992) is an American former professional soccer player. A left-footed forward, he was a two-time winner of the Hermann Trophy as the top men's college soccer player and was the leading scorer in NCAA Division I soccer in 2013. He scored 31 goals during an eight-season career in Major League Soccer (MLS), appearing with five different clubs.
Born in New Orleans, Mullins won two state championships and was the 2008 Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year while at Jesuit High School. He played collegiately at Maryland, where he was a two-time All-American and helped the Terrapins to back-to-back appearances in the College Cup. Mullins was drafted in the first round of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft by New England Revolution, beginning an eight-year journeyman career during which he represented five MLS clubs. He played in MLS Cup 2014 during his rookie season with the Revolution, then joined New York City FC through the 2014 MLS Expansion Draft. Mullins scored six goals in their expansion season before being traded to D.C. United in the summer of 2016.
In a 2017 game against San Jose Earthquakes, Mullins became the first player in MLS history to score four goals in a single half. He was unable to lock down a starting spot with D.C. and was then traded midway through the 2018 season to Columbus Crew. Mullins scored one goal with the Crew in parts of two years before another trade brought him across the border to Toronto FC, where he played the final seasons of his career. He made 63 total appearances with Toronto, more than with any other club. Mullins scored his final goal in April 2021, during a 2021 CONCACAF Champions League match against León, and retired from professional soccer at the end of the 2021 season. Including his time with semi-professional clubs Baton Rouge Capitals and New Orleans Jesters early in his career, Mullins played more than 200 senior games.
