Molloy missed the 2023 season through an ACL injury but has returned to form in 2024, earning a move to the Barclay’s Women’s Championship side.
“I’m delighted, I can’t really believe it to be honest. I love the city, I got a really good feel for the club and everyone involved so I’m really excited to get started,” said Molloy.
United coach Ash Thompson added: “We’ve worked really hard to bring Ellen in and we’re really excited about what she’s going to add to the squad. We’ve watched her closely and she’s dynamic, has two great feet, can both score and create.
“You only have to look at what she’s achieved in Ireland to know we’re bringing in a really good player with a lot of potential and someone we think the fans will love watching.”
