IT wasn't long after the news became offical on Thursday morning, that the well-wishes came flowing in for Geelong's newest signing.
Category B Rookie Oishin Mullin, from County Mayo in Ireland, is one of the country's most promising young Gaelic stars.
The 21-year-old won the 2020 GAA Player of the Year and has played in the All Ireland final in each of the past two years.
The dashing defender earned GAA All Star selection following his breakout 2020 season.
It's clear Geelong's newest development project is a popular man back home.
Oisin mullin will be a star in the AFL. Physique / fitness / teak tough. @GeelongCats look after him and you will have one of the greatest imports the game has seen 👍
