Crystal Palace, February 2023
He first signed for Palace at Under-11 level, after growing up in Croydon and scoring seven against the club in a match the day before. Citing Diego Maradona and Paul Gascoigne as his footballing idols, his creativity in midfield was one of the driving forces behind the Under-18s’ title challenge.
Before signing as a scholar, Mooney juggled the pressures of playing for a Premier League Academy and taking his GCSEs, often waking up at six to get to school before heading straight to training every evening, getting home at nine.
He has been with a talented Academy side that has travelled to Miami, Israel and Sweden, as well as winning the Floodlit Cup in 2019.
Mooney scored four times and assisted six goals in 19 appearances in the 2020/21 season as Palace narrowly missed out on the Under 18 Premier League South title on goal difference.
He equalled his goal tally in the 2021/22 season, including a brace against Arsenal, and added a further three asissts.
Mooney made 31 appearances in all competitions in 22/23, scoring five goals, as he helped the side to the Premier League International Cup final.
The midfielder penned a contract extension at the end of the 22/23 campaign.
