Mulvihill was a key forward and took home the West Torrens goal-kicking honours every year from 1966 to 1969. His efforts in 1969 were enough to earn him selection in the The Advertiser's 'Team of the Year' as a centre half forward.

In 1973, Mulvihill returned to West Torrens and topped their goal-kicking that season as well as in 1974 for the sixth time to equal the club record. His career best tally in a game was 12 goals against Woodville, the club he would finish his career at.
