Kelsey Thomas Mooney (born 5 February 1999)[3] is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Accrington Stanley.

Career

[edit]

Mooney began his career with Aston Villa, turning professional in February 2017.[4] He moved on loan to Cheltenham Town in August 2018.[5] He made his debut on 1 September 2018, in the English Football League, scoring his first goal a week later.[6][7]

He left Aston Villa at the end of the 2018–19 season, signing for Hereford in October 2019.[8][9] In March 2020 he said that he hoped his partnership with new teammate Lenell John-Lewis would allow him to score more goals, and for the team to win more games.[10] In July 2020 it was reported that Mooney had accepted an offer to return to a club in the Football League, although Hereford manager Josh Gowling wanted him to stay at the club.[11] On 3 August 2020 he signed a one-year contract with Scunthorpe United.[12] On 16 October 2020 he returned to Hereford on loan.[13] He was one of 17 players released by Scunthorpe at the end of the 2020–21 season.[14]

In August 2021 he joined Leamington.[15]

In May 2023, he signed for Boston United.[16]

On 17 May 2024, Mooney signed for Accrington Stanley on a two-year contract.[17][18]
