Career
Born in Amsterdam to Indo (Eurasian) parents, Mols, a product of local AFC Ajax"s youth system, never appeared officially for its first team, making his professional debuts in the second division, with Cambuur Leeuwarden, which he helped obtain Eredivisie promotion in 1992. Early into the following year, he signed with another club in the top level, Football Club Twente, continuing to score regularly with this and his following team, Football Club Utrecht. In the 1999 summer, Mols signed with Scottish giants, scoring nine times in his first nine Scottish Premier League matches.
However, during a Union of European Football Associations Champions League clash against Football Club Bayern Munich, he collided with opposing goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, which resulted in a serious knee injury – in the same competition, he previously helped his club crush PSV Eindhoven 4–1 at home by scoring twice, whilst in the league, he put four past former Ranger Andy Goram"s Motherwell.
In the following years, Mols endured a tough rehabilitation process, eventually recovering fully and scoring 13 times in 27 matches during the 2002-2003 championship-winning season, which earned him a one-year extension in his contract. He unfortunately got sent off on his final appearance for against Dunfermline.
After an unassuming year with Utrecht, Mols signed with ADO Den Haag, where he played two seasons and netted eight league goals combined. At the end of 2006-2007, as his side relegated to the second division, he decided to retire, at almost 37.
However, after sacking agent Mark Brandon, he later reconsidered: He began his attempt to find a new club with an unsuccessful trial with Australian club Perth Glory Football Club, before he signed a one-year deal with Rotterdam, as cover for also recently signed Roy Makaay.
He retired for good at the end of 2008-2009 (18 matches, two goals).
