Malone was elevated to interim head coach for the 2025 season in May following the retirement of Mark Mettrick. Malone joined the Bullets staff in the spring of 2024 as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator after spending the previous three seasons as an assistant at Scranton.
He helped guide the Royals to back-to-back winning seasons in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, he helped guide Scranton to an 11-7-2 mark and a Landmark Conference Championship. The Royals entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed and posted 1-0 shutout victories over Catholic and Elizabethtown.
Prior to Scranton, he served as an assistant at St. Joseph’s College of Maine with Monks men's soccer program from 2016-21. Malone, who joined the St. Joseph’s coaching staff as a volunteer while still a student, helped the Monks turn into a consistent winner over the last five seasons.
St. Joseph’s won three straight Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) championships in 2016, 2017, and 2018 to reach the NCAA Div. III tournament in each season. In all three seasons, the Monks won their first-round contest.
The banner campaign of Malone’s time on the St. Joseph’s staff came in 2018 when the Monks finished with a 21-1-0 ledger. The Monks entered the NCAA tournament unbeaten and untied and ranked in the Top 10 nationally. In four seasons of competition, Malone helped St. Joseph’s post a 71-5-11 (.879) overall mark, along with an undefeated 37-0-4 (.951) ledger in GNAC regular-season contests.
Since 2019, Malone also was the head coach for St. Joseph’s reserve team. And, since March 2020, he has served as a coach for the 2008 Maine Olympic Development Program boys' team.
Malone earned his bachelor of arts degree from St. Joseph’s in 2017 in history/secondary education.
