Francisco José Molinero Calderón (born 26 July 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón as a right back.

Club career

Molinero was born in Ontígola, Province of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha. After playing two La Liga seasons for Atlético Madrid (his first game being on 25 September 2004, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Villarreal CF[1]), in whose youth system he grew, he served a second division loan stint at Málaga CF.[2]

In July 2007, free agent Molinero agreed to a two-year deal to RCD Mallorca.[3] He appeared sparingly throughout the season,[4][5] moving the following campaign to Levante UD, freshly relegated to the second level.[6]

On 21 July 2009, Molinero signed with Romania's FC Dinamo București, leaving Spain for the first time in his career.[7] He spent only one year in Liga I, however, cancelling his three-year contract in the summer and returning to his country, joining division two club SD Huesca.[8]

In the 2011 off-season, Molinero signed with Real Murcia for three years.[9] On 26 June 2014, after never appearing in less than 37 league matches, he moved to Real Betis also in the second tier;[10] he achieved promotion in 2015, contributing to the feat with one goal.[11]

On 25 June 2016, Molinero joined Getafe CF on a two-year contract.[12]
