The skilful midfielder started his professional career on the books of Platinum Stars under the guidance of coach Steve Komphela. His career then led him to stints with AmaZulu, Orlando Pirates and Chippa United. At the start of the 2016/17 season, Molangoane re-united with coach Steve again when he committed to Amakhosi for two years.[1]

Tight (as he is known by football fans) suffered a horrific injury when he broke his ankle playing against Free State Stars in August 2018. This saw him being ruled out for the rest of 2018.[2]

In May 2019, Kaizer Chiefs announced that midfielder has extended his stay with the Soweto giants after signing a one-year contract extension with an option to extend.[3]

In July 2020, TTM announced that they have signed Joseph together with Oupa Manyisa on two years contracts.[4][5] in the Premier Soccer League.[6]
