Grace Moloney
Grace Maria Moloney (born 1 March 1993) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Women's Super League 2 club Sunderland. Born in England, she represents the Republic of Ireland at international level.
Moloney was born on 1 March 1993 in Slough, Berkshire to Bill Moloney. Her paternal grandfather is from County Tipperary and paternal grandmother from County Cavan.
She is a life-long fan of Celtic (her family team), she played for QPR, later on moving to Reading during her youth career, later moving back due to the facilities available to allow her to pursue her sport at an international level. Her father Bill, her self-confessed number one fan, travels to all her international games.
Moloney played for Reading in the second-division FA WSL 2 during the 2015 FA WSL season. She helped the team win the league before signing a professional contract with them ahead of the 2016 season in the FAWSL 1. When Reading subsequently signed Mary Earps, Moloney was largely restricted to playing in the FA Women's League Cup.
In June 2016 Moloney joined Aston Villa on loan.
In April 2019 Moloney signed a new contract with Reading. She had re-established herself as the first choice goalkeeper and helped the club reach the FA Women's Cup semi-final, which they lost to West Ham United on a penalty shootout. Reading recognised Moloney's 150th appearance for the club with a presentation before a 1–0 2019–20 FA Women's League Cup defeat by West Ham in November 2019. She signed another two-year contract extension with Reading in February 2021.
On 6 March 2022, Moloney made her 200th appearance for Reading.
On 15 August 2023 Moloney joined London City Lionesses on a 2-year contract. She parted ways with the club by mutual consent in January 2025.
