Gavin Molloy

Gavin Molloy of Aberdeen was born on 19 October 2001 (age 25).

Gavin Molloy (born 19 October 2001, age 25) is a Republic of Ireland central defender with Aberdeen, where he wears the number 21 shirt. He is valued at around £510,000 by Transfermarkt.

His career to date is shaped mainly by his spell at Shelbourne.

His Aberdeen total stands at 13 appearances and one goal across all competitions, a fairly clear next step after the heavier workload he carried at Shelbourne.
