Gavin Molloy, born on 19 October 2001 (age 24), is a Republic of Ireland central defender with Aberdeen. He is not a name with any Celtic baggage attached, which is sometimes a mercy in this part of the world.
His career is still most clearly associated with Shelbourne. Across three seasons there, Molloy made 68 league appearances and scored four league goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2022, when he scored twice in 19 league games. That spell gave his career its substance rather than just its start.
At Aberdeen in 2026-27, he has made four league appearances and scored once, along with four League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup. Across all competitions for the club, he has nine appearances and one goal. His market value is around £510,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Molloy’s career to date is a straightforward one: a solid body of work at Shelbourne, followed by the next stage of his senior football at Aberdeen.
