Muldoon returned to manage Kingston for the 2014 season.[19][20] In his third season with Kingston, he secured another playoff berth by finishing third in the division.[21] In the opening round of the post-season, the club was defeated by the Serbian White Eagles.[22] Their playoff journey concluded in the next round after a defeat by Toronto Croatia.[23]
