Rooney aims for 100 Dons goals

Last updated : 15 August 2016 By Stand Free Ed

Rooney committed himself to Aberdeen last week, signing a new deal that will keep him at Pittodrie until 2020.

The prolific goalscorer has netted 60 goals since moving to the Dons from Oldham Athletic in 2014, and he has set his sights on scoring 100 goals for the club.

He said “If I keep going the way I have been going there’s no reason I can’t get over 100 goals; that’s the target.

“The main thing is to keep scoring and enjoying my football, but it would be pretty special to get to that kind of total.

“I’m not really a man to set targets or aim to set records, but there’s no doubt that would be brilliant.

“The way this team players we create a lot of chances so there would be every opportunity for me to get well over the 100 mark by the end of my contract."
