Playing Career
MPL 01

McCullum began his MPL career by playing for the Wrathful Wolves. He was a prominent figure opening the batting wherever possible as he scored 279 runs topping the charts and setting the record for other run scorers to follow. McCullum scored at an impressive strike rate of 149.20 with one half century and was also given the role of captain for the Grand Final after James Clipper got injured but unfortunately his side fell short by 6 runs against the Crabs leaving McCullum's side the runners-up in MPL 01.

MPL 02

Following the formation of the Reckless Raccoons and the hiatus of the Wolves, the Raccoons needed some experience at the top of the order and they decided that McCullum was the player for the role. McCullum had a reasonable season but it was clear McCullum was not quite at his best as he scored 203 runs at an average of 23.11 with a strike rate of 145.45 across the season. As a result of these returns, his side struggled to gain any momentum after an initial winning streak as they claimed the wooden spoon.

Coaching Career
MPL 03

With the Raccoons side dismantled following their disastrous season which saw Head Coach Steve Hansen leave mid-season, Brendon was snubbed in MPL 03 as a player with none of the playing sides considering McCullum as a playing option for the season. However, the Wrathful Wolves who were reinstated in MPL 03, were looking for a Head Coach and Brendon was the candidate to take over the role. McCullum's side proceeded to finish in second place before they fell short to the Warthogs in the Challenger.

MPL 04

Unfortunately, Brendon's playing career was once again paused as he continued to take the role of Head Coach for the Wrathful Wolves for their MPL 04 campaign as none of the playing sides considered McCullum as a playing option for the season.
