Tomás Molina joined the ranks of Hernán Cristante’s Bravos of Juárez.

Molina has had a relatively low-key career. He made his senior debut with Huracán in the 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo February 2016 - the first of just two appearances that season. Things didn’t get any better for him the following season, when once again he was used just twice. He left to join third tier outfit Almirante Brown on loan in January 2018. On his return, he was immediately farmed out again, joining CA Brown for one season before landing at Ferro, where he finally managed to settle and get some consistency.

He remained with the Buenos Aires-based club until 2021, scoring 10 goals in 30 games over two seasons. In his last campaign in Ecuador he played a total of 27 games and found the net 13 times in the LigaPro Serie A. Now, at 27 years old, he will have his first experience in the Liga MX.
