HEREFORD FC have welcomed former striker Kelsey Mooney back on loan.

Mooney made 20 appearances for The Bulls last season, scoring five times.

The former Aston Villa made a move to the Football League League Two side Scunthorpe United during the summer.

“I’ve watched him and seen how he’s got on up there, and as soon as I saw he became available, I jumped at the chance to get him back,” said Hereford boss, Josh Gowling told the club's official website.

“Kelsey has been training full-time with Scunthorpe, playing against and training with very good players so I’m sure he’ll be an even better version of what he was when he was with us last year."

The Hereford boss has been trying to bring in a striker over the last few weeks.

“We’ve found it difficult to bring in a striker due to the Covid rules and issues surrounding loaning players," added Gowling.

"We also want to make sure that we bring in the right character, but Kelsey fits the bill perfectly."

“He knows the club, he knows the lads, he formed a really good partnership with Lenny last season and we know that he’s got a great work ethic. He’s a good finisher and has got a great attitude, so I’m really pleased to be able to bring him in.”
