Aaron Frank Mooy (born 15 September 1990) is an Australian professional football midfielder who currently plays for Huddersfield Town in the Football League Championship, on loan from Manchester City, and for the Australia national team.
Born in Sydney, Mooy played youth football for the New South Wales Institute of Sport and Bolton Wanderers before making his professional debut with St Mirren. He returned to Sydney to play for Western Sydney Wanderers in 2012, and moved to Melbourne City two years later.
Mooy has been capped by the national team on 16 occasions, netting a total of 5 goals. He also played in the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He is considered by many to be a forthcoming star for the Socceroos due to his unprecedented rise in talent.
Mooy grew up in Carlingford, Sydney. While growing up, he would stay up until the early hours of the morning before going to school, so he could watch compatriots Craig Moore and Tony Vidmar. In his early schooling years, he attended Crestwood Primary School in the north-west of Sydney before progressing to Westfields Sports High School in his later schooling career.
