STRIKER Tommy Mooney revealed he turned down four League One clubs to join Wycombe because he expects to be playing in that division with Wanderers in 12 months time.

The former Birmingham and Watford star had been in talks with a number of other League One clubs but opted for Adams Park after hearing manager John Gorman's blueprint for success.

He said: "John's enthusiasm is quite infectious. He's very confident and enthusiastic about the way he's going to play and the success the team is going to have.

"Obviously keeping the players he wants to is a massive thing. With the additions, I have to believe that we will be very successful.

"I have agreed a two-year deal and I fully believe that my second year will be in League One."

And Mooney believes he can continue the goalscoring exploits that has seen him become a top marksmen at nine different clubs.

He said: "Every striker will set targets for goals. I want to better last season's goal tally. I want to be over and above the 20 goals mark."

Mooney played for League Two rivals Oxford City last season and banged in 15 goals. But he is forward to linking up with Nathan Tyson at Wycombe.

He said: "If the forwards can get over the 50-goal mark you are a long way to getting promoted."

Mooney discussed a return to Swindon and three of the newly-promoted League One teams before agreeing to join Wycombe.

But he was keen to stay within travelling distance of his home near Birmingham and was eager to play for a team playing at the right end of the table.

He said: "I like to stay close to my family. That played a big part in it. I want to be involved with successful teams. Success for those League One teams would have been survival rather than going for promotion."

Mooney says that he still has plenty of hunger at the age of 33 and may even continue playing for Blues after his two-year deal is up.

He said: "I love playing matches. I've played 90 games in two years. When I enjoy my football most is when I'm in a winning team."
