Molyneux, 24, will link up with another former Pools player in Jonathan Mitchell who joined Rovers in January at the end of his deal with Pools.
And supporters have been sharing their views on social media wishing Molyneux well for his future after a successful spell with the club.
@therealgsj: Gutted to be losing @LukeMolyneux3 but could see it coming a mile off. If this frees up budget to keep Timi away from Bradford and bring in another player in the ilk of Mols I’d be happy though. Unpopular opinion, Timi is the more important one to keep.
