Club career

Leicester City

Born in Coalville, England, Moore began his career with Leicester City at the age of 6, training with the club's Academy Development Group before signing a contract with the club at the age of 8. He gained his scholarship at the age of 16 and helped the under-18s reach the semi-final of the FA Youth cup in 2014–15. [3] That team included several players that went on to play in the Premier League with Leicester's first team – Ben Chilwell, Hamza Choudhary and Harvey Barnes. He made his under-21s debut at the age of 16 against Coalville Town in the Westerby Cup Winners' Cup final on 31 July 2013. [4] Moore went on to make over 60 appearances for the club at under-21 and under-23 levels and captained the under-23 side during the 2016–17 season. [5] His performance in the 2014–15 season earned him a nomination for Leicester's Academy Player of the Year award but he lost out to Ben Chilwell. [6]

On 18 May 2017, Moore was called up to the first team but appeared as an unused substitute in the 6–1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the last game of the season. [7] He joined the first team's pre-season tour to Austria and Asia during the Summer of 2017 and made his first appearance on 19 July 2017. [8] He came on as a half-time substitute in the Asia Trophy semi-final win over West Bromwich Albion in front of a crowd of 40,000. [2]

In August 2017, Moore signed a new two-year contract, keeping him at the King Power Stadium until July 2019, and he signed another two-year contract until 2020 the following June. [2] [9]

OH Leuven (loan)

His new contract with Leicester City included a loan deal that saw him join OH Leuven, also owned by King Power. [10] [2] [11] [12]

Moore immediately featured in the starting lineup at OH Leuven one day after signing for the club, in a 7–1 victory over Cercle Brugge. [13] Moore quickly established himself in the side following his debut. [14] On 27 August 2017, he scored the 8th goal for OH Leuven and his first for the club in an 8–0 cup win against Turnhout. [15] He scored his first league goal for the club on 8 September 2017, in a 2–0 win over Tubize, [16] and scored again on 3 October 2017, in a 3–0 win over Cercle Brugge. [17] He captained the side for the first time, following an injury to Dimitri Daeseleire, in a 2–2 draw against Cercle Brugge on 2 February 2018, [18] and also captained the following match against Lierse on 11 February 2018 before suffering an injury. [19] Moore returned from injury as captain on 1 April 2018, in a 2–2 draw against Zulte Waregem. [20] As the 2017–18 season progressed, Moore featured as captain in a number of matches, though OH Leuven failed to return to the Belgian top flight. [21] Moore finished his first season at OH Leuven having made 35 appearances and scored 3 times in all competitions.

Following the 2017–18 season, Moore rejoined Leuven on loan for a second season. [22]

Oxford United

Moore signed a three-year deal with Oxford United on 1 August 2019 for an undisclosed fee. [23] He made his debut two days later as a 94th-minute substitute in United's first league game of the 2019–20 season at Sunderland. [24] On 7 June 2022, Moore signed a new three-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2025. [25]

International career

In June 2015, Moore was called up for the England U18 squad and made his only appearance for the side, in a 2–1 defeat over Russia U18. [26]

In June 2017, he was called up for the England U20 squad for the first time ahead of Toulon Tournament. [27] He made his England U20 debut on 1 June 2017 as a 68th-minute substitute in a 7–1 win over Cuba. [28] He made his full debut three days later in a 2–1 win over Japan. [29] England went on to win the Tournament and Moore received his first medal at international level.

Personal life

His father played football as a semi-professional. [12]
