CHARLIE Moone wants to be judged on his ability to score goals after completing a move to join Slough Town on Sunday.

Moone, 27, becomes the fourth summer signing at Slough having spent the last six seasons with Hampton & Richmond Borough where he became a prolific striker with 118 goals in 257 appearances.

The forward scored 12 goals as Hampton won the Ryman Premier Division last season, but spent much of his time on the bench due to a change in system.

Slough have beaten a number of clubs to sign Moone, who is excited by the fresh start, and insists he wants to bring goals and success to The Rebels.

“There were different options and proposed offers to me, but I know what I want,” Moone told the Observer. “I know what sort of player I am and that makes a big difference.

“I need to be playing to my strengths and for people that want me. The management team at Slough told me the way they play and it seems like a good fit.

“I have known Neil Baker and Jon Underwood for a long time and even played with them when I was 16. They are great guys and really showed me that they wanted me.

“I’ve come from a championship winning team so would love to be competitive at the top of the league next season, or at minimum in the play-offs.

“With the new ground, the club has aspirations to do well and their vision it to be competing at the top.”

He continued: “I’m a goal scorer and will be judged on that, which is always the case when you start. I am keen to have a good scoring record with Slough.

“I’m a team player and want to give maximum effort, not hang around the six-yard box, but I’ve been brought in to score goals. I just see it as my responsibility in the team, the same as a goalkeeper wants to keep a clean sheet.

“Goals change games so I want to score more all the time. I put pressure on myself because I want to do it for the team. I want to prove myself and meet any expectations.

“I don’t really worry about outside pressure, but I want to score goals for Slough and I believe that I can.”

Looking back over his six-year spell with Hampton & Richmond, Moone said: “Six years is a long time in non-league football and you don’t get that kind of loyalty often.

"The format at Hampton changed last season and, whilst not a purposeful or intended change, the boys led the table from Christmas to the finish of the season.

“The players decided the formation for the remainder of the season. They impressed and all did good jobs, so you could argue that the club were never going to change a system that worked so well.

“I have had a fresh start and it was an exciting time to speak with managers who entered different offers.”
