Rovers sign goalkeeper on one-year contract

TRANMERE Rovers have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Jason Mooney on a one-year contract today.

The 23-year-old joins Rovers following a successful trial period at Prenton Park.

He kept clean sheets in the friendly wins over Cammell Laird and Heswall and has impressed the coaching staff in training.

Mooney, from Northern Ireland, played for Ards, Bangor, Ards Rangers and Comber Rec before joining Wycombe Wanderers last season.

He spent the whole of 2011-12 on loan at Oxford City where he was named player of the season by supporters after helping the club gain promotion to the Blue Square North and conceding the fewest goals in the Evo-Stik Southern League.

Manager Ronnie Moore said: “I’ve been really pleased with Jason in pre-season.

“He’s vocal, dominates his area, is a good shot stopper and he’s an imposing figure at six foot nine.

“He’ll provide good back up for Owain Fon Williams and I’m happy he’s agreed to join us.”
