Moore played for SASI Pirates in the Women's National Soccer League before moving to England and joining Barnet. In season 2000-01 she scored 41 goals in 32 games for Barnet and won the Premier League Southern Division Player of the Year award.[1] She was then signed by the professional club Fulham and won two FA Women's Cups and the Premier League National Division in 2002-03.
When Fulham reverted to semi-professional status that summer, Moore followed the club's Norwegian contingent to Norway to play in the top women's league, the Toppserien. She played for IF Fløya in Tromsø from 2003 to 2008 and then Stabæk in Bærum, right outside Oslo, from 2009 onwards. Her new club finished second in the league in 2009 and won the league title in 2010.
Her career in Norwegian club football has been a high-scoring one and in 2004 she was the top scorer in the Toppserien. In a match in that year she scored six goals against the legendary goalkeeper Bente Nordby.[2] Again in 2008 she was top scorer in the Toppserien.
Moore's scoring record in the Toppserien is: 2003 5 goals, 2004 20, 2005 11, 2006 6, 2007 10, 2008 22, 2009 19, 2010 12, for a total of 105 at the start of 2011. On 6 August 2011 she scored twice to bring her total for the season to 12 and her overall total to 117, and with that she climbed to tenth place in the all-time top-scorers' list for the Toppserien.[3]
In the autumn of 2011 Stabæk played two Champions League matches against FFC Frankfurt, winning the first one 1-0 in Oslo but losing 4-1 in Frankfurt a week later. Moore scored the only away-goal of the tie but in spite of having scoring chances Stabæk lost on aggregate.
Moore had played in training matches for Australia in 1997,[4] but was also eligible for England through her English mother. She made her England debut in a 1-0 home defeat by Nigeria on 23 July 2002.[5]
Moore wanted to play Australian Rules Football as a child, but was not allowed to because she was female.[5]
Moore has a house in Tromsø, Norway, and in 2010 qualified as a nurse.
