Moore is from Winchester, England. He went to school at King Edward VI, Southampton and studied economics at University of Nottingham. Throughout his academic career Moore was involved with all sports, showing a particular talent for hockey and cricket. At the age of 16 whilst playing a hockey match for his school, the coach for the opposing team, who happened to also be the under 21s coach for England, spotted the young player's natural ability and invited him to an England under 21s trial.
Moore made the England under 21s team the summer of the trials in 1998, and that August was selected for his first tournament; the Under 21s European Cup in Poznan, Poland where the team also managed to pick up a silver medal. In February 2003 aged 21, Moore made his Senior International debut. Since then Moore has racked up 190 caps for England and Great Britain in tournaments such as; the Olympic Games, Athens Greece (2004), Champions Challenge, Alexandria Egypt (2005), European Championships, Leipzig Germany (2005), Commonwealth Games, Melbourne Australia (2006), World Cup, Monchengladbach Germany (2006), Champions Challenge, Belgium (2007), European Championships, Manchester England (2007), Champions Trophy, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia (2007), Olympic Games, Beijing China (2008), European Championships, Amsterdam Holland (2009), Champions Trophy, Melbourne (2009), World Cup, Delhi India (2010), Champions Trophy, Monchengladbach Germany (2010), Commonwealth Games Delhi India (2010). Moore has also competed in many other uncapped friendly tournaments that have taken him all over the world.
Moore has recently been selected for the Indoor World Cup further adding to, and diversifying his existing hockey skills. Moore will be playing his first indoor capped tournament in Poznan, Poland commencing on 8 February 2011.
In addition to playing internationally, Moore played club hockey in the England Hockey League for Surbiton, having previously played for Trojans, Havant, Teddington, Wimbledon. Moore signed for National League side Fareham Hockey Club for the start of the 2015-16 season.

Though he has done most of his modeling out of the country, for companies such as Tchibo, Citroen Financial Services, and Deutsche Bahn, has also done a few adverts in England, mainly in keeping with his sporting career.
Moore is married to wife Camilla. Together they have five children, Alfred (2010), Finlay (2012), Delilah (2013), Demelza (2016), and Elliot (2022). Moore and his family live in London and Winchester. As of 2021, he is a biology and golf teacher at Winchester College, teaching many classes.
