Jason Bryan Mooney (born 26 February 1989) is a Northern Irish semi-professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
Born in Newtownards, County Down, [4] Mooney worked various jobs including as a gardener, at a car wash and at a farm while playing in Northern Ireland. [3] He started his football career with Ards's youth system, with whom he won the Youth League Cup in April 2008. [5] His debut for the first team came before that, as he started a 2–1 away defeat to Carrick Rangers in the Irish First Division on 29 December 2007. [6] Mooney made three appearances for Ards in the 2007–08 season, [6] before signing for newly promoted IFA Premiership club Bangor in the summer of 2008. [7] He had a spell with Ards Rangers before joining Comber Recreation (both of the Northern Amateur Football League) over the summer of 2009. [8] [9]
Mooney took part in a goalkeeping course in the south of England during the summer of 2011, which was attended by scouts from across England. [10] He signed a one-year contract with English League One club Wycombe Wanderers in August 2011 after impressing during a two-month trial. [11] He had earlier signed non-contract terms after working for the club as a barman. [11] Mooney spent the 2011–12 season on loan at Southern League Premier Division club Oxford City, [10] and helped the club to win promotion into the Conference North with a 4–2 play-off final victory over AFC Totton. [12] He made 45 appearances for City, [13] but was released by Wycombe in May 2012 following their relegation into League Two. [14]
Mooney had trials with Conference Premier club Cambridge United and League One club Tranmere Rovers before joining the latter on a one-year contract in July 2012 as back-up for Owain Fôn Williams. [8] [15] He made his debut on 27 April 2013, in a 0–0 home draw with Bournemouth – his clean sheet helped to deny the visitors the League One title on the last day of 2012–13. [16] Mooney signed a new one-year contract in June 2013 and manager Ronnie Moore commented that "Jason has really progressed and I'm pleased he will be staying with us". [17] He made three appearances in 2013–14, which culminated in Tranmere's relegation to League Two. [18]
Mooney turned down a new contract with Tranmere to sign for League Two club York City on 29 May 2014 on a two-year contract. [19] [20] He made his debut in York's 1–1 away draw with his former club Tranmere in the opening match of 2014–15 on 9 August 2014. [21] Having made only five appearances for York, he joined Conference Premier club Alfreton Town for the rest of the season on 17 January 2015. [22] Mooney made 13 appearances for Alfreton before being recalled by York on 3 April 2015 after Bobby Olejnik was suspended. [21] [23] [24]
Mooney was released by York by mutual consent [25] ahead of a transfer to their League Two rivals Accrington Stanley on 1 July 2015 on a one-year contract. [26]
