Notably, on 6 August 2003, Mulders netted a goal against the opposition team consisting of Zlatan Ibrahimović and Wamberto during a friendly match against Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena.

Cambuur, bogged by financial problems had failed expectations to climb the Jupiler League rankings in Mulders' second season with the club.

[13] Mulders made his UEFA Europa League debut for Den Haag on 4 August 2011,[16] appearing as a substitute for Ahmed Ammi in the 32nd minute against Cypriot club Omonia in the third qualifying round.

[16] In January 2013, it has been reported that Mulders had received an offer from Chiangrai United in the Thai Premier League, but both parties did not reach a final agreement before the winter transfer window closed.

[30] Following a friendly match against Nepal on 11 October 2011, the Philippines won 4–0 where Mulders played an instrumental role providing an assist to Phil Younghusband's goal in the 17th minute.
