The team had been working on arrangements to get Mullen to Belfast since he signed last month, however a change in personal circumstances now means he is unable to travel.

Commenting on the announcement, Patrick Mullen said: “I was excited at the opportunity to get back to Belfast and to help the Giants out at what is an exciting and important part of the season.

Mullen added: “This is greatly disappointing for me, for the team and coaches at this late stage of the season.

“Whilst I can’t support the team in the way I had hoped, I will be cheering them on as they continue what is a thrilling title race and I wish them every continued success.”

He concluded: “It’s a great honour to wear the teal jersey in Belfast and the team should do so with pride with the performance they have given this season.”
