Darren Michael Moss (born 24 May 1981, Wrexham) is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town. He usually plays as a right-back.
[edit] Career
Darren Moss started his career as a trainee at Chester. He made his début for the club back in November 1998, in Chester's 2-1 loss against Brentford. During Moss's Chester career he played in 62 games for the club, in those games he received nine yellow cards and two red cards.
In June 2001, Moss joined Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer, making his Shrewsbury Town début in August 2001 in Shrewsbury Town's 3-1 loss against Hartlepool. Moss was one of Shrewsbury's few key players as the club endured a poor 2002-03 campaign which saw them relegated from the Football League. Moss continued his good form in the Football Conference during 2003-04 as Shrewsbury immediately won promotion back to the Football League. A notable moment for Moss was scoring the winning penalty in the Conference playoff semi-final against Barnet, a game that eventually was settled by penalties. Seen as one of the key members of the squad, Moss was becoming a target of transfer interest from other clubs.
In March 2005, Darren Moss joined Dario Gradi's Crewe Alexandra, the north-west based club buying him for £170,000. He made his début in Crewe's 4-1 defeat to Wolves. A combination of injuries and the signing of Jon Otsemobor from Rotherham in the January transfer window left Moss without a place in the first team. This was until Otsemobor rejected a new contract at Crewe, which put him on the transfer list, with Gradi looking for a replacement for the speedy full-back. The Crewe manager turned to Moss who made his first appearance as Otsemobor's replacement in the 4-2 win over Chesterfield in the Football League Trophy.
Towards the end of the 2006-07 season, rumours linked Moss with a move back to his former club Shrewsbury Town. These rumours were fuelled further when Moss turned down an extension to his contract at Crewe. In May 2007, only days after Shrewsbury narrowly missed out on promotion, Moss re-joined Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer.
