The Republic of Ireland international capped a superb individual campaign so far by penning a new three-year deal at the club last week - that will keep him at Albion until June 2028.
The 25-year-old originally arrived at Albion on a season long loan from Brighton in 2021 - before the move was made permanent for £900,000 the following summer.
The midfielder was a key figure for Albion during his first season at the club, featuring 47 times under both Steve Bruce and then Carlos Corberan as Albion climbed from the relegation zone to the brink of reaching the play-offs.
Last season, Molumby would make just 25 appearances in all competitions, as he was kept out of the side due to the form of Okay Yokuslu and Alex Mowatt, before his season was ended early with a serious foot injury.
However, he battled back to fitness and has been an almost ever present in Albion's midfield so far this term, striking up a key partnership in the middle of the park with Mowatt.
He has netted twice in 23 appearances and has become a firm fans favourite at The Hawthorns due to his all action and high energy displays.
The midfielder, who has 29 international caps to his name, believes he has matured during his time with Albion and explained how feeling at home has been a key factor in allowing him to improve over the last three and a half seasons.
"I’ve definitely improved during my time here," Molumby told the club website.
“I came here when I was about 21 or 22 and I’ve matured a lot in the years I’ve been here. I’m happy and I’m settled. I like where I live and I feel like this place is home which obviously helps you improve. I enjoy being at the club.
“Having consistency and a run of games helps massively too. It’s not as easy to improve or find that consistent level of performance when you’re not getting regular starts and you’re in and out of the team.
“I’ve had both ends here. There were seasons where I’ve been in the team regularly and I feel like I’ve had good seasons. There have also been times like last year where I was in and out of the team and then had the injury, which was tough.
“Lately I feel like I’ve been playing regularly and that stands well with me. I feel comfortable and confident.
“I don’t feel like a key player but I know what my strengths and weaknesses are. My strengths are passion, energy, commitment and giving absolutely everything every single game."
