Millwall’s new signing Connor Mahoney is eyeing a top half finish with the Lions.

Arriving from Bournemouth for a fee believed to be around £1million, the 22-year-old joined up with Neil Harris’s squad before they travel to Portugal for pre-season training.

The winger who made 30 appearances while on loan at Birmingham City last season says he’s relishing the challenge at The Den and is hopeful of finishing towards the top of the table and avoiding a repeat of the last campaign where relegation was narrowly avoided.

"Last season wasn't the best for the club,” he told Millwall FC.

“But I was speaking to the gaffer and he was telling me about the season before, in which we had a top-half finish.

“I think that's our ambition for this season, finishing there, and then you never know what might happen.

"Neil was a massive factor in getting me here.

“He has been very persistent over the last few weeks to get the deal over the line, which for me, as a player, is wonderful.

“It was an easy decision for me, I can't wait to get going.”

Millwall will be Mahoney’s sixth club of his career.

Starting at Accrington, the winger moved to Blackburn and then Bournemouth before two loan spells at Barnsley and Birmingham.

Now in SE16, Mahoney is looking towards a ‘long and successful’ career in front of the Millwall faithful.

"I'm an exciting player, exciting to watch.

“I work hard for the team and for the club, but also want to bring something different - quality on the ball, getting fans off their seats.

“They pay good money to come and watch us, so hopefully there's a successful season around the corner."

"I'm looking forward to every game, the derbies with Charlton Athletic, the Luton Town game that has just been announced to be shown on Sky, but I'm also looking forward to my first game at The Den, which will hopefully be the first game of the campaign against Preston North End."

News of the signing was warmly welcomed by the Millwall fans.
