Molloy first started to take it seriously in and around 2014, when he made the county minor team and, ever since, the wheels have just kept on turning. He's rarely found himself on the subs' bench and all going well, could end the year with an All-Star in his hands.
"At underage, you were just playing it for fun like," adds Molloy, who's working in Tuam as a site engineer.
"I was always a fairly, a hyper child we'll call it. 12, 13, 14, I was just playing it for the sake of playing it like, I was playing other sports as well like.
"It was kind of when I got to minor, I was 18 playing minor yeah, then I was playing three years under-21 and that was kind of when it started getting serious with Corofin as well and college and everything kicked in then as well like, so it kind of just, it happened all at once really.
"I kind of realised I can do a bit more and then as I got older I was just, started focusing more and trying a lot harder."

"It's basically part of my life at this stage. So it's what I choose to do. I choose to go back two weeks after, three weeks after each time. I wouldn't take too much down-time (after the county season ends) because that can hinder your performance for the next team or next game. For me personally, it's part of my life, and you get your holidays when you can like."
The 26-year-old joined us for the second episode of The GAA Hour's new sit-down series of interviews and he talked about the season just gone, growing up in Corofin and his ambitions for the future. Listen in below.
