Playing career

Brentford

Youth years (2003–2014)

Growing up in Chiswick,[2] 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.[3][4] 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,[5] making eight appearances.[6] Moore signed scholarship forms in July 2012.[7] Over the course of his two-year scholarship, he scored 14 goals in 36 appearances for the youth team, finishing as top scorer in the 2013–14 season.[8][9] On 30 June 2014, Moore signed a one-year professional contract to be a part of the Development Squad for the 2014–15 season.[10]

Breakthrough (2014–2016)

After featuring for the first team during pre-season and scoring in a 5–1 rout of Barnet,[11] 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.[12] He made his professional debut in the following match, starting in a League Cup first round tie with Dagenham & Redbridge.[12] With the score at 4–4, Moore scored his first senior goal seven minutes into extra time, with Brentford winning the match on penalties after an incredible 6–6 draw.[13] He also set up two goals for Stuart Dallas.[14] Moore signed a new three-year contract on 15 August,[4] but lost his place in the squad due to the arrival of Betinho on loan and the resurgence of Toumani Diagouraga.[12][15] He continued to appear regularly for the Development Squad and spent the second half of the 2014–15 season out on loan.[16]

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.[17] 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.[18][19][20][21][22]

Burnham (loan)

Moore and Brentford Development Squad teammate George Pilbeam joined Southern League Premier Division strugglers Burnham on loan on 11 February 2014.[23] 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.[24]

Midtjylland (loan)

On 19 January 2015, Moore joined Danish Superliga leaders Midtjylland on loan until May 2015.[25] He made 8 U19 and two reserve team appearances, helping the U19 team to the U19 Ligaen title.[16] He returned to Griffin Park after his loan expired.[16]

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.[26] He made one appearance for the club's U23 team in a Kent Senior Cup match.[27]

Hibernians

In mid-January 2017, Moore moved to Malta to join Maltese Premier League club Hibernians.[28] He made 11 appearances and won the first senior silverware of his career when Hibernians claimed the league title with one match to spare.[29][30]

Personal life

Moore lives in Brentford.[31] On 23 December 2014, Moore was charged with handling stolen goods (which he denied), driving without a licence and driving without insurance.[32]
