In an interview at the tail-end of the 2006–07 season, Forest boss Colin Calderwood picked out Moloney out of his Youth Team as having "fantastic potential".
The youngster impressed for Chesterfield on loan, and netted his first professional goal for the Spireites in his third game for the club, with a 25-yard shot in their 4–0 victory over Hereford United.
With The Reds gaining promotion, manager Colin Calderwood commented that he would give Moloney a chance to impress in the Football League Championship during the 2008–09 campaign.
[13] After spending the whole of January on loan at Northampton, Moloney signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Cobblers, having been released from his Yeovil contract.
[14] In June 2018 Moloney rejected a new contract offer from Northampton and retired from football due to a persistent knee injury.
