Molyneux joined Stoke after leaving the 3rd Grenadiers in 1897.[1] He was made reserve forward by Horace Austerberry and played 14 matches in two season scoring 5 goals.[1] During the 1898–99 season Stoke had a fine run in the FA Cup reaching the semi-final against Derby County, due to injury to Jack Farrell Molyneux started the match and Stoke went on to lose 3–1.[1] The local paper, The Evening Sentinel criticised Molyneux's performance and he left the club soon after.[1] He later went on to play for several Southern League clubs.[1]
