He left Aston Villa at the end of the 2018–19 season, signing for Hereford in October 2019.[7][8] 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.[9] 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.[10] On 3 August 2020 he signed a one-year contract with Scunthorpe United.[11] On 16 October 2020 he returned to Hereford on loan.[12] He was one of 17 players released by Scunthorpe at the end of the 2020–21 season.[13] In August 2021 he joined Leamington.[14]
In May 2023, he signed for Boston United.[15]
