The winger made the admission after penning a fresh three-year contract. The 26-year-old is one of the star performers and news of his re-signing has been received with universal praise from the fanbase.
Molyneux has earned cult hero status thanks to his interaction with the supporters and constant references to ‘going to the Sal for a pint’.
And Molyneux was not backwards over coming forwards when it came to his ambitions for the next three years.
“It’s unfinished business,” he stated. Getting this club promoted was the challenge I signed up for two years ago. That was the primary goal.
“I still want to do that, even though we didn’t do it last season.”I’ve had a few conversations with Grant (McCann) and Cliff (Byrne) and I said if I’m going to stay, I want to stay for as long as I can and hopefully become a legend here.”
It says a lot about the feelgood factor surrounding Rovers right now that most supporters chose to talk up the good news over Molyneux rather than dwell on what might have been with Hakeeb Adelakun or Harrison Biggins.
McCann confirmed that the pair are both heading for “pastures new” and whilst there may be a touch of disappointment at that, the vast majority of the supporters are behind the decision. A deadline was given and neither has re-committed so they and the club will move on.
The Molyneux news is a serious shot in the arm for the entire club.
The month of May isn’t even over yet but his re-signing and the arrivals of Joe Sbarra and Jordan Gibson means a strong start to transfer proceedings. As far as foundations go, Rovers couldn’t have asked for a better start to the summer.
