Club career

edit

Randers FC

edit

In May 2015, Mølvadgaard went on a trial at German club 1. FSV Mainz 05 for one week, though without earning any contract.[2]

Mølvadgaard got his debut for Randers FC on 5 August 2016. He started on the bench, but replaced Viktor Lundberg in the 82nd minute in a 1–0 victory against AC Horsens in the Danish Superliga.[3]

On 15 November 2016 it was confirmed, that Mølvadgaard had signed a new 2-year full-professional contract with RFC, and was permanently moved up to the first team squad, starting from new year 2017.[4]

On 31 January 2019, Mølvadgaard was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club Hvidovre IF for the rest of the season.[5]

In July 2019, the sporting director of Randers announced to the medias, that Mølvadgaard wouldn't play for the club anymore and had to find a new club because his contract would expire within six months.[6]

Strømsgodset

edit

After a week on trial, Mølvadgaard signed a contract until the end of 2022 with Strømsgodset on 4 February 2020.[7] However, he left the club at the end of 2020.

In an interview in April 2021, Mølvadgaard revealed that he had lost the desire to play football under the management of Strømsgodset manager Henrik Pedersen and would take a break from football.[8] Mølvadgaard stated in the interview, among other things the following: "I think it's so fantastic that Henrik Pedersen is no longer the coach of Strømsgodset. Because it's a man who's ruined a whole year of my life as a football player".[9]

Košice

edit

On 9 July 2021, Mølvadgaard joined Slovak club FC Košice on a three-year deal.[10] However, after the club failed to win promotion to Fortuna Liga, it was announced that Mølvadgaard would depart at the end of the season.[11]

Penafiel

edit

On 1 August 2022 it was confirmed, that Mølvadgaard had joined Liga Portugal 2 club Penafiel, signing a three-year deal.[12][13] On 31 January 2023 the club confirmed, that Mølvadgaard's contract had been terminated by mutual consent.[14]

Næstved

edit

Later on the same day as Mølvadgaard left Penafiel, he signed with Danish 1st Division club Næstved.[15]

On September 18, 2024, Næstved confirmed that they had terminated Mølvadgaard's contract by mutual consent.[16]
