Molina was loaned to SD Huesca of Segunda División for the 2011–12 season.[4] He scored his first goal for the Aragonese on 17 September 2011, in a 3–3 home draw against CD Alcoyano.[5]
In the following seasons, Molina represented a host of clubs in the Segunda División B.[6] [7] The exception to this was 2014–15, when he appeared in the second tier with Recreativo de Huelva.[8]
On 19 July 2022, after two years as a regular starter at UD Ibiza, Molina signed a two-year contract with Real Zaragoza in the second tier.[9] On 19 August of the following year, he terminated his link with the club.[10]
