Club career

Born and grown up in Augsburg, Malone played his youth football with local club FC Augsburg. He went through several youth stages and after playing two seasons with the reserve team he advanced to their first team, signing his first professional contract, in the summer of 2019. However, he did not play once for the first team during the 2019–20 Bundesliga season and was therefore loaned out, to gain playing experience.

Malone made his professional debut for Wehen Wiesbaden in the first round of the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal on 13 September 2020, coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute for Sebastian Mrowca against 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Heidenheim. The home match finished as a 1–0 win for Wiesbaden. [3]

He scored his first goal for the team in the same game, it was the team's fourth, as Basel went on to win 8–1 against amateur club FC Saint-Blaise. [6] Malone played his domestic league debut for the team in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 3 September as Basel played a 2–2 draw with Zürich. [7] He scored his first league goal for the team in the away game in the Stade Municipal on 24 September. However it could not help them, as Basel were defeated 3–2 by Yverdon. [8]

On 27 November, the club announced that Malone had sustained an injury to the meniscus in his right knee during the cup game against SC Kriens one month earlier. The injury required surgery and Malone was out for a few weeks as a result. [9]
