Born on the 19th of October 2001 in the Republic of Ireland, Gavin Molloy is a professional footballer who bestows his footballing talent in the defensive department of the pitch, standing proud in the central defence position. Currently residing in the heart of Aberdeen's defence, Molloy occupies the number 21 jersey as he stands guard for his teammates, measuring at 6ft (1.83m) and tipping the scales at a robust 12st 1lb (77kg). He stepped on to the Scottish soil during the summer transfer window of 2024.
As of present, Molloy's prowess on the field has set a feather on his market value, rounding it off to approximately £510,000. This estimation has been provided by Transfermarkt, a renowned source for player market values.
Prior to answering the Scottish call, Molloy swerved clubs within the Republic of Ireland's Premier Division, making a shift from Bohemian FC to Shelbourne in July 2021, for a sum that remains a secret to the public sphere. His journey with Shelbourne observed a steady increase in on-pitch time. In his inaugural season (2022), he pulled on the green and white jersey 19 times, finding the back of the net twice. The following season saw an upward curve, with 27 appearances and a goal to his name. His final season with the club (2024) witnessed him making 22 appearances and repeating the singular goal tally.
Molloy's boots touched the Scottish turf when he transferred onwards from Shelbourne to Aberdeen in July 2024. His debut season (2024 - 2025) in the Scottish Premiership was marked by 19 first team league appearances. As the current season (2025 - 2026) unfolds, our Irish defender has already made six league appearances for the Dons.
Beyond the league competitions, Molloy's presence was called upon in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, where he started once for Aberdeen. He also had the chance to feel the European atmosphere, featuring in Aberdeen's Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, with one start.
