Declan Moore (born 15 September 1996) is a New Zealand-born, Australian rugby union player who plays for Irish United Rugby Championship club Ulster,[1] where he is providing injury cover from parent club Munster.[2] He plays as a hooker.
Career[]
Born in New Zealand, Moore moved to Australia at a young age. He has played most of his senior rugby for Sydney University in the Shute Shield, also representing Sydney during the 2019 National Rugby Championship.[2] Super Rugby club Melbourne Rebels selected Moore in their squad for the 2020 Super Rugby season and the 2020 Super Rugby AU season, but he made no appearances for the club during these competitions.[3] Moore was also selected for the Australian under-20s squad, though injury denied him any caps.[2]
Moore joined Irish United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup club Munster on a deal for the 2021–22 season season in September 2021.[2] Moore's paternal grandfather is from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, and he has maternal relatives from Castlerea, County Roscommon, meaning Moore is Irish-qualified and therefore eligible to represent Ireland's national team.[4] He made his senior competitive debut for the province in their opening 2021–22 Champions Cup fixture away to English club Wasps on 12 December 2021, coming on as a replacement for Scott Buckley in the province's 35–14 win.[5]
Moore joined Munster's provincial rivals Ulster to provide injury cover in late December 2021.[1]
