Playing career[]

Brentford[]

Youth years (2003–2014)[]

Growing up in Chiswick,[3] Moore joined the local Brentford Community Sports Trust at age seven and impressed enough to be offered a place at the club's Centre of Excellence.[4][5] A broken leg and a year out of football failed to halt his progression through the ranks and he made his debut for the club's youth team during the 2011–12 season,[6] making eight appearances.[7] Moore signed scholarship forms in July 2012.[8] Over the course of his two-year scholarship, he scored 14 goals in 36 appearances for the youth team and finished as top scorer in the 2013–14 season.[9][10] On 30 June 2014, Moore signed a one-year professional contract to be a part of the Development Squad for the 2014–15 season.[11]

Breakthrough (2014–2016)[]

After featuring for the first team during pre-season and scoring in a 5–1 rout of Barnet,[12] Moore was called into the senior squad for the opening game of the 2014–15 Championship season against Charlton Athletic, but remained an unused substitute.[13] He made his professional debut in the following match, starting in a League Cup first round tie with Dagenham & Redbridge.[14] With the score at 4–4, Moore scored his first senior goal seven minutes into extra time and Brentford won the match on penalties after an incredible 6–6 draw.[14] He also set up two goals for Stuart Dallas.[15] Moore signed a new three-year contract on 15 August,[5] but lost his place in the squad due to the arrival of Betinho on loan and the resurgence of Toumani Diagouraga.[13][16] He continued to appear regularly for the Development Squad and spent the second half of the 2014–15 season out on loan.[17]

Moore failed to feature at all for the first team during the first six months of the 2015–16 season and his contract was cancelled by mutual consent on 1 February 2016.[18] He made one first team appearance and scored 9 goals in 31 matches for the Development Squad during 18 months as a professional at Griffin Park.[19][20][21][22][23]

Burnham (loan)[]

Moore and Brentford Development Squad teammate George Pilbeam joined Southern League Premier Division strugglers Burnham on loan on 11 February 2014.[24] In a spell affected by the weather, Moore made just one appearance for the Blues, as a late substitute in a 4–2 defeat to St Neots Town on 15 February.[25]

Midtjylland (loan)[]

On 19 January 2015, Moore joined Danish Superliga leaders Midtjylland on loan until May 2015.[26] He made 8 U19 and two reserve team appearances and helped the U19 team to the U19 Ligaen title.[17] He returned to Griffin Park after his loan expired.[17]

Charlton Athletic[]

On 15 February 2016, Moore joined Championship side Charlton Athletic until the end of the 2015–16 season after a successful trial with the club's Development Squad.[27] He made one appearance for the club's U23 team in a Kent Senior Cup match.[28]

Hibernians[]

In mid-January 2017, Moore moved to Malta to join Maltese Premier League club Hibernians.[29] He made 11 appearances and won the first senior silverware of his career when Hibernians claimed the league title with one match to spare.[30][31] He departed the club after the season.[32]

Enfield Town[]

After receiving international clearance, Moore returned to England to join Isthmian League Premier Division club Enfield Town on 15 September 2017.[32] He made his debut the following day as a late substitute for Mickey Parcell in a 0–0 FA Cup second qualifying round draw with Hanwell Town.[33] He scored his first goal for the club in the following match, with the third goal in a 5–0 rout of Hanwell Town in the replay.[33] Moore was released in November, after making 12 appearances and scoring two goals for the club.[33]
