Club career

Moses-Garvey was born in Birmingham and joined home-town club Birmingham City as a boy. He has played for their Academy teams and reserve team.

In October 2008 he joined Hinckley United of the Conference North on loan for a month. [2] The player damaged ankle ligaments on the day the deal was completed, so remained at Birmingham for treatment. [3] He eventually made his debut for Hinckley on 15 November, coming on as a first-half substitute to score the second goal in a 2–0 defeat of Harrogate Town. [4] He also played in the FA Trophy defeat by Burscough [5] and in a local cup game [6] before returning to Birmingham at the end of his month's loan. [7] [8]

Birmingham released Moses-Garvey at the end of the 2008–09 season, and after several trial games with Worcester City, [9] [10] he signed for the Conference South club in July 2009. [11] According to manager Richard Dryden, "Aaron's got pace and he's something different from the rest of the forwards. He goes past people with the ball." [10] After playing in all five of Worcester's league games without scoring, Moses-Garvey was released on 24 August. [12]

After playing for Redditch United and Stratford Town, Moses-Garvey joined Rugby Town in September 2013. [13] He left in January 2014 and signed for Romulus, before returning to Stratford later in the year, [14] via a brief stint with Continental Star in the Midland League. [15] [16]

After returning to Continental Star, where he made one start and one substitute appearance, [17] he moved on to Coleshill Town. Registered as 'Aaron Garvey', he made six league appearances, but did not score any goals. [18] He rejoined Rugby in October the same year, but was released at the end of the 2016–17 season following the club's relegation. [13]

Moses-Garvey returned again in the 2017-18 season to Continental Star, making seven league appearances and scoring one goal, [19] and stayed with the club for the following two seasons, establishing himself in the first team during 2018-19 [20] but playing only seven times in 2019-20. [21]

International career

In 2006 Moses-Garvey made his first international appearance for St Kitts and Nevis at under-20 level in the qualifying matches for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He qualifies to play for the country because his father Lincoln was born in Saint Kitts. [22] He scored in the 2–1 win over the Dominican Republic which ensured his country's automatic qualification for the CONCACAF qualifying tournament, [23] the first time any St Kitts and Nevis team had reached such an advanced stage of a FIFA competition. [24] They finished third, behind Mexico and Costa Rica, thus failing to qualify for the tournament proper. They did however draw with Jamaica, Moses-Garvey coming close to snatching a late winner. [25] The squad received a ceremonial reception on their return to St Kitts. [26]

In February 2008 Moses-Garvey made his full international debut in the starting eleven in a 2010 World Cup qualifier against Belize, which St Kitts and Nevis lost 3–1. [27]

Personal life

His father, Lincoln Moses, who was born in Saint Kitts, manages non-League side Continental Star, where he used to play. [28]
