A late bloomer, he began to play professional football at 25 with Poli Ejido.

Club Career

Early years

Molina was born in Alcoy, Province of Alicante. Until the age of 23, he only played in the Tercera Division, representing CD Alcoyano, Benidorm CF and CF Gandia. In 2005 he re-joined Benidorm, now in Segunda Division B.

Molina made his professional debut in 2007–08, playing in Segunda Division with Polideportivo Ejido. It would be a short-lived experience, as his five goals – squad-best, tied with three other players – in 30 matches, were not enough to prevent relegation. On 29 October 2008, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 home win against Villarreal CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (6–1 on aggregate).
