Pablo Matías Daniel Molina (born 13 June 1993) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Atlanta.[3]

Club career[edit]

Molina's career started with Tristán Suárez.[3] His first appearance arrived in December 2012 against Los Andes, which began a run of eight appearances in Primera B Metropolitana for the defender in 2012–13.[3] In 2013–14, Molina scored the first two goals of his senior career after netting versus Flandria and Barracas Central respectively.[3] He made a total of ninety-two appearances and scored four goals in five seasons with the club.[3][4] In July 2016, Molina moved up to Primera B Nacional after penning a loan deal with Gimnasia y Esgrima.[3][5][6] He featured seventeen times for them as they placed eighteenth in tier two.[3][7]

After twenty-four games and one goal back with Tristán Suárez, Molina left on 30 June 2018 to sign for fellow Primera B Metropolitana team Atlanta.[3][8] He made his debut against his former club, playing the full duration of a 4–0 victory over Tristán Suárez on 18 August.[3] Molina played for Atlanta until February 2021, where he joined Sarmiento. However, he returned to Atlanta in January 2022.[9]

International career[edit]

Ahead of the 2016 Sait Nagjee Trophy in India, Molina was called up by Julio Olarticoechea's Argentina U23s.[10]
