Molloy was drafted to Collingwood with the Club’s first pick and third selection overall in the 2017 AFLW Draft.

An outstanding debut season in 2018 saw Molloy claim both the AFL Women’s Rising Star Award and the Club’s Best and Fairest Award that year.

Across six seasons, the 24-year-old has played 47 games in the black and white (kicking 37 goals) and is a two-time All Australian (2018 and 2021).

Collingwood’s Head of Women’s Football Jess Burger thanked Molloy for her outstanding contribution to the Club. 

“Since being drafted to Collingwood, ‘Moy’ has been a valued member of our program,” Burger said.

“Over the past five years, Chloe has been a great ambassador for our Club and the wider AFLW competition and it’s been great to watch her grow and develop as both a player and person over the course of that time.

“Not only has Chloe demonstrated outstanding talent on the field, but she has also made strong contributions off field including as an opposition analyst during her time on the sidelines with a Lisfranc injury in 2019.

“In this situation, we understand that she was interested in seeking an opportunity interstate in pursuit of a new lifestyle.

“Whilst we’re disappointed Chloe won’t be a part of the continued growth of our program, we are confident in the depth and talent of our playing list to ensure continued improvement in the 2023 season and beyond.”

“On behalf of everyone at Collingwood, we would like to thank Chloe for all she has brought to our Club and we wish her all the best for this next chapter of her career.”

The AFL and AFLPA earlier this week announced that a Priority Signing Period (PSP) would take place between Wednesday, March 1 – Wednesday, March 8 with the AFLW Sign and Trade Period to be held from Friday, March 10 – Monday, March 20.
