attacking midfielder or forward
.

Career

Early career

Born in

Football League Championship. Initially told that the club had no space left in their academy, Plymouth scout John James went to watch Malsom playing in the Herald Cup final for Bishopsteignton, during which he scored twice, and invited him to a week-long trial. He eventually signed with the club on a permanent basis, changing positions to play as a forward on the advice of Plymouth youth team manager Stuart Gibson.[2]

He became a prolific goalscorer for the youth and reserve sides at Plymouth, setting a team record with 29 goals in 24 matches, but never made a first team appearance for the club. He spent a short period on loan with Tiverton Town, scoring 2 goals in 4 appearances, but was released by manager Ian Holloway in 2006. Following his release, he spent time on trial DPMM FC and Aldershot Town.

B36 Torshavn

Malsom's agent later organised a trial with

Olimpi Rustavi from Georgia
.

Iceland and Sweden

His performances for

B36 Torshavn earned him a move to Icelandic Premiere League side Knattspyrnufélagið Þróttur for a small fee believed to be in the region of £30,000,[12] who at the time were in the top division in Iceland, Malsom joined the club in the summer transfer window while they were struggling at the bottom end of the league table. He managed to rack up a respectable 5 goals in 10 games for the struggling side but unfortunately the club were relegated at the end of the season and Malsom decided to move on. Malsom then went on to sign for Dundalk in the Irish Premier League but problems with his registration with the Irish F.A meant he wasn't eligible to play until July, Malsom flew back home and signed a short deal with Swedish side Motala AIF
where he played on either wing, securing 9 man of the match awards in 15 games and scoring 6 goals.

Hereford United

Malsom returned to England during the Swedish summer break and after a short trial spell he signed for

Gloucester City
in February 2011 to gain match fitness after spending a couple of months on the sidelines with an injury. He left at the end of the season after finding first team opportunities rare.

Weymouth and Dorchester Town

Malsom joined

Weston Super Mare. He went on to score 6 goals in 12 games for Dorchester and finished the season with 21 goals with majority of performances coming from out wide. In June 2013, Malsom re-signed for Tiverton Town, a club closer to home[16]
where he scored on a regular basis from midfield.

Later career

After spending three seasons in England, scoring 45 goals from either wing and midfield, Malsom eventually made the move abroad again signing professionally for Nikos and Sokratis Erimis FC in

Hamar.[17]
