Brendan Moloney (born 18 January 1989 in Beaufort, Killarney, County Kerry) is an Irish football player currently playing for Nottingham Forest. His preferred position is right-back in defence, but has also appeared on the right of midfield. A graduate of the Nottingham Forest Youth Academy, he captained the Nottingham Forest reserve team that just missed out on the title in 2006-07.
In an interview at the tail-end of the 2006-07 season, Forest boss Colin Calderwood picked out Moloney out of his Youth Team as having "fantastic potential". He made his début in March 2007, coming on as substitute against Gillingham wearing the number 35 shirt.
He made his first start for Forest in their opening game of the 2007-08 campaign, against Bournemouth.
On January 10, 2008, Moloney completed a loan move to Chesterfield on a month-long loan. He made his debut for them on January 12,2008, against Brentford. The youngster impressed for Chesterfield on loan, and netted his first professional goal for the Spireites in his third game for the club, with a 25 yard shot in their 4-0 victory over Hereford United. He played a total of nine games for Chesterfield, before returning to Forest's team in the summer of 2008.
With The Reds gaining promotion, manager Colin Calderwood has commented that he will be given the chance to impress next season after Forest's promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship in the upcoming 2008-09 campaign. He was loaned out to Rushden & Diamonds at the beginning of the season, where he appeared six times. He was recalled by Forest boss Colin Calderwood in November 2008, and made a surprise start at right-back in Forest's 1-0 home win against Barnsley, putting in a good performance. Since doing so, Moloney has continued with his impressive form, and has seemingly established himself as Forest's first choice right-back.
