On 1 November 1925, he started for the Paris football team in a friendly against Catalonia, scoring once in a 2–3 loss; the following day, the journalists of French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that he "did what he could, but in the future, he will have to avoid pushing his opponents too hard". The following month, he started for Paris in a friendly against a Nord selection.
On 11 April 1926, the 24-year-old Moulène earned his first international cap in a friendly match against Belgium at Stade Pershing, which ended in a 4–3 win. The following day, the journalists of Le Miroir des sports described his performance as "conscientious and courageous, but his uncertain passing and relatively poor mobility do not denote a midfielder of international class".
After leaving Club Français in 1928, Moulène returned to CA Paris, where he played for a further five years until he retired in 1933, aged 32.
