Francisco José Molinero Calderón (born 26 July 1985 in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Murcia in Segunda División, as a right defender.

Football career

After playing two top flight seasons for Atlético Madrid (his first game being on 25 September 2004, playing 90 minutes in a 1–0 home triumph against Villarreal CF), in whose ranks he grew as a player, Molinero served a second level loan stint at Málaga CF.

In July 2007, Molinero was sold to RCD Mallorca, but appeared sparingly throughout the season, moving the following season to freshly relegated Levante UD.

On 21 July 2009, he signed with Romania's FC Dinamo București, leaving Spain for the first time in his career. He spent only one year in Liga I, however, cancelling his contract in the summer and returning to his country, signing with second division's SD Huesca.

On 6 July 2011, Molinero signed with Real Murcia for three years.
