Playing career
Millwall
Bull started his career with Millwall, playing in the same youth side as Tim Cahill and Lucas Neill. He made fifty appearances by the end of the 2003–04 season. By this point, he had completed loan spells with Yeovil Town and Brentford.
Grimsby
In 2004 he left Millwall to join Grimsby Town. Bull stayed for a season before he was offered a move abroad.
New Zealand Knights
He then moved to New Zealand to play for the New Zealand Knights in the newly formed A-League. He made many appearances for them before leaving the side.
Return to England
Bull left the club in November 2005 to return to the UK, less than halfway through the Knights' disastrous first season. In 2006 he returned to Millwall to train, attempting to increase his fitness after injury.[2]
On his return to England, he signed with Rushden & Diamonds. He left Rushden in November 2006 to join Grays Athletic. He then signed for Crawley Town during the January 2007 transfer window,[3] and scored on his debut against Aldershot Town.

He went on trial with Salisbury in the summer of 2008 before he joined Fisher Athletic in October 2008. He made just a handful of appearances before joining Exeter City. It was announced in January 2009 that he was to stay with the League Two side until the end of the 2008–09 season.
At the start of the 2009–10 season, Bull rejoined for Grays Athletic along with eight other players.[6] This was after he had been in talks with Salisbury City, but a move failed to materialise because of the clubs financial position.
Salisbury City
Bull signed for Salisbury City during the January transfer window 2010 on a contract that kept him at the club until the end of the 2009/10 season.[7] Then after this he signed a new contract keeping him at Salisbury for another year.
