The deal made Molino the first player signed to Orlando's MLS roster.[6]

Molino began the2014 USL Pro season, the club's final season in the league, with 15 goals in his first 21 matches, the most in the league at that point in the season. Molino tied the league single-season goal scoring record of 15 shared byDom Dwyer andJosé Angulo on 16 August 2014[7] with six games left in the season.[8] Two games later on 23 August 2014, Molino scored in a league match against theRichmond Kickers to bring his goal tally to 16 for the season, setting the new single-season record in the process.[9] Molino concluded Orlando City's final USL Pro season with a goal against theRichmond Kickers, raising his final record-tally to 20 as Orlando City won its third Commissioner's Cup in four years.[10]

On 2 May 2015, during Orlando City's friendly againstPonte Preta, Molino tore his right ACL and missed the remainder of the 2015 MLS season.[11] On 3 April 2016, Molino scored his first goal for Orlando City from a penalty in a 4–1 win overPortland Timbers.[12]
