Personal life

Career

Moulden began his career with Liverpool and Manchester City; his transfer between the two was investigated by regulators.[4][5] He spent time on loan at Gloucester City.[6]

He then signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2021,[3] spending further loan spells at Ebbsfleet United,[7] Solihull Moors,[8] and Rochdale.[9][10][11] He was recalled from his loan at Rochdale in January 2024,[12] and signed on loan for Northampton Town later that month.[13] Moulden said he would challenge for the starting position,[14] a sentiment echoed by Northampton manager Jon Brady.[15]
