On 9 November 2007, Molloy made his debut for League of Ireland Premier Division side Galway United on the last day of the 2007 season, coming on as a second-half substitute, replacing Alan Murphy in a 2–1 win over UCD in Terryland Park.[3]

In the second last game of the 2010 season, Molloy scored a brace, including an 89th minute winner, as Galway United defeated top of the league Bohemians 3–2, in a result which directly led to Shamrock Rovers passing out Bohemians and winning the league.[5][6] On 2 November 2010, Molloy started in the Promotion/relegation play-off as Galway United defeated Bray Wanderers 1–0 to retain their Premier Division status for the next season.[7]
