Derby County attempted to sign Luke Molyneux in 2022, with Wayne Rooney keen on adding the forward from Hartlepool United to strengthen their attack for a potential promotion push from League One. However, Rooney’s departure and David Clowes taking over happened shortly after, and Molyneux joined Doncaster Rovers instead, where he has since made a significant impact.
Molyneux’s contributions, including goals and assists, have been crucial in Doncaster’s journey to the playoffs. He was particularly impressive in April, showcasing his talent with four goals and three assists. This surge in form has caught the attention of many, with journalist Ricky Charlesworth praising his performance as “ridiculous.”
Considering Molyneux’s contract situation and Doncaster’s desire to renew it, Derby should consider making a move for him. The Rams lack depth in the right-wing position, and while Molyneux’s Championship experience is limited, he could provide valuable quality and depth to their squad. Signing him on a free transfer would present low risk with the potential for significant rewards if he continues to excel in the second tier.
