Career

He joined Weymouth during Christmas 2003,[3] making his debut on 1 January 2004 in a local derby against Dorchester Town. Player-manager Steve Claridge released him four days later. After appearing for Selsey during second half of the season,[4] Oxford United manager Graham Rix signed him on a 1-year contract for the 2004–05 season after impressing in pre-season matches and training. It was cancelled in November 2005.[5] He then moved to Basingstoke Town,[6] and from there Cirencester Town in 2006.[7]

In July 2008, he joined Forest Green Rovers in the Conference National.[8] He had previously featured for the club's reserve team squad while studying for a degree at Hartpury College. He was released by Forest Green in December 2008 having made four league appearances.[9]

He then signed for Clevedon Town in January 2009. He then moved to Gloucester City before leaving in 2010.

In the summer of 2011, Molyneaux joined Gosport Borough, at the time in the Southern League Division One South & West.

Molyneaux moved to Havant & Waterlooville for the 2015–16 season, making eighteen league appearances as the club were relegated from the National League South. In November 2017, having helped Havant earn promotion back to the National League, he rejoined Gosport, now struggling in the Southern League Premier Division, on a month's loan.[10] He made his second début for Gosport in a 1–0 victory over Dunstable Town, their first win of the season.

After acting as a player-coach at The Hawks for the 2018–19 season,[11] he was appointed the manager of Gosport Borough in May 2019.[12]
