Taylor David Moore (born 12 May 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Ligue 2 club Valenciennes.
Moore was born in Walthamstow in East London, but moved to France as a seven-year-old. [4] Moore spent a year in the academy of his local side West Ham United before moving to France. [3] Upon arriving in France, he joined amateur club Etaples before joining the academy at Lens at the age of 12. [4]
Having made a progression through the Lens' academy, Moore signed his first professional contract with the club on 8 December 2014. [5]
On 3 May 2015, with Antoine Kombouaré as coach, he made his first-team debut for Lens, starting in an away derby match against Lille playing out of position at right back and producing an assist for his team's only goal in a 3–1 loss. [6] [7] Moore went on to make four appearances in the 2014–15 season.
In the 2015–16 season, Moore made five appearances for the club. [8] However, his first team opportunities were limited after he fell out of favour with manager Kombouaré and was sent to play in the reserves. [9] Despite this, Moore was the subject of a €10 million transfer bid from Lyon in the January transfer window. Lens rejected the bid, demanding €15 million instead. [10] Moore was expected to leave the club by the end of the January transfer window, but no club made an offer and he stayed at the club for the rest of the season. [11]
Ahead of the 2016–17 season, Moore's future at Lens became uncertain [12] and he found himself linked with a move back to England, with Bristol City, [13] Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, West Ham United and Crystal Palace also showed an interest in signing him. [14] Amid the transfer speculation, Moore was expected to fight for a first team place under the new management of Alain Casanova. [15]
On 25 August 2016, Moore signed for Championship club Bristol City on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £1.5m. [16] Upon joining the club, Moore revealed that then-teammate Tammy Abraham played a role in convincing him to join Bristol City. [17] He made his debut in an EFL Cup match away to Fulham, in which Bristol City won 2–1. [18]
Less than a week after the January transfer window opened in 2017, Moore was loaned out to struggling League One side Bury to gain further experience. [19]
On 30 August 2017, Moore signed for Cheltenham Town on loan until January 2018. [20]
Moore was loaned to Scottish club Heart of Midlothian in August 2021. [21]
Moore signed on loan for Shrewsbury Town in July 2022.
In May 2023, Moore was released from Bristol City. [22]
On 23 July 2023, Moore signed for Ligue 2 club Valenciennes on a three-year contract. [23]
Moore represented England at England U17, England U18 levels, and captained the England U19's. [24] He was a part of the U-17 team that won the European Championships in 2014. [25] He has six caps for the England U20's.
Moore has three brothers, Aston, Jaxon and Keaton. [26] He attended Staples Road Primary School in Loughton, Essex, before he moved to France aged 7. Moore is fluent in French.
