Mooney spent the 2011–12 season on loan at Southern League Premier Division club Oxford City, and helped the club to win promotion into the Conference North with a 4–2 play-off final victory over AFC Totton.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jason Mooney (Northern Irish footballer)” as northern Irish association football player (born 1989). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as northern Irish association football player (born 1989). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16232792. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2008, 2007 and 2009.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
