Career

Moore started his career with Motherwell, playing for their youth teams up to under-20 level. On 31 January 2013, he went on a one-month loan to Cowdenbeath of the First Division, [2] making his first-team debut as a substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Raith Rovers. [3] That loan was then extended to the end of the season on 6 March 2013. [4] On 25 March 2013, after five appearances and four goals on loan at Cowdenbeath, Moore signed a new contract with parent club Motherwell until Summer 2015. [5]

On 8 August 2013, Moore made his debut for Motherwell appearing as a substitute in a Europa League match against Kuban Krasnodar. [6] He made his league debut for Motherwell against Hearts as a substitute on 19 October 2013, scoring with his very first touch. [7] He suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his right knee during a match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in May 2014. [8] On 2 June 2014, Moore signed a contract extension, keeping him at Fir Park until June 2016. [9]

On 30 July 2015, Moore joined Scottish League One side Ayr United on loan until 4 January 2016. [10] On 5 January 2016, his loan with Ayr was extended until the end of the season. [11] After a successful season with the Honest Men, it was confirmed in July 2016 that Moore would return on loan to Somerset Park for the 2016–17 season. [12]

After returning to Motherwell at the end of the season, Moore was released by the club in May 2017 following the end of his contract.
