Moore originally started his career in the Leeds Rhinos Academy but never made a first team appearance. He then played for Bradford Bulls, London Broncos and Leigh,[3] before joining Wakefield Trinity ahead of the 2007 season.[4] Moore missed the start of the 2009 season after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease.[5] He left Wakefield at the end of the 2010 season to join Crusaders.[6]

On 12 August 2011, Moore re-signed for Leeds, the club where he began his career as an academy player, but failed to make a first team appearance. He then had a second spell at Wakefield in the 2014 season.
