Dan Moor (born 24 July 1990) is a former Canadian rugby union player, who played Wing and Centre for the Canada national team.[1] He played for the Toronto Arrows in Major League Rugby (MLR), joining from Yorkshire Carnegie.[2]

Playing career[]

Ontario Blues[]

Oxford University[]

While studying for his Masters, Moor played for Oxford University in the 2017 Varsity Match.[3]

Yorkshire Carnegie[]

On 14 August 2018, it was announced that Moor was being trialled at then-RFU Championship club, Yorkshire Carnegie. The trial was successful, and Moor was signed on 30 August for the 2018-19 season.[4] Yorkshire finished the season 6th in the competition, with Moor scoring on his home debut.[5]

Toronto Arrows & professional retirement[]

On 2 December 2018, the Toronto Arrows announced the signing of Dan Moor from Yorkshire Carnegie, returning Moor to his hometown, and into Major League Rugby. Over the 2019 season, Moor scored 7 tries over 13 appearances for the Arrows, including the first try for the Arrows on home soil in MLR, and was awarded with All-MLR Second XV honours. Despite his achievements, Moor was unsuccessful in being selected for Rugby Canada for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Moor re-signed with the Arrows for the 2020 MLR season.[6]

Moor was appointed as club captain for the Arrows, alongside Lucas Rumball as co-captain.[7] Moor led for the first 4 games of the 2020 season, scoring 4 tries. When the season was cancelled,[8] Moor was joint-second in the League try-scorers list.[citation needed]

On 24 June 2020, Moor announced his retirement from professional rugby.[9] He stated that the time away from rugby caused by the COVID-19 pandemic gave him "time and space" to ponder his transition from rugby. He will take up a position with Bain & Company in November 2020, while maintaining an advisory role with the Arrows.[10]
