Career

Reading

Born in Sandown, Isle of Wight, Moore began his career in the youth system at Brading Town before moving to Portsmouth. He then joined Reading in September 2011 at the age of 16 on a two-year scholarship, culminating with a one-year professional contract. Moore joined Southern League Division One South & West club Hungerford Town on loan later that month. He debuted in a replay against Weymouth in the FA Cup second qualifying round, in which he made a number of saves, with Hungerford losing 3–1. The following season saw Moore loaned to Southern League Premier Division club Bashley, finishing the loan with 33 appearances.

On 17 February 2014, Moore joined Conference North club Gloucester City on a one-month loan. He debuted a day later in a 3–1 defeat at home to Barrow. Moore returned to Reading after being recalled from his loan on 14 March, which he finished with four appearances. He was then loaned to Conference South club Bath City on 27 March until the end of 2013–14. Moore made his league debut on 5 April in a 2–1 victory at home to Eastbourne Borough. He was sent off in the 63rd minute of a 3–1 defeat away to Gosport Borough on 19 April for raising his arm in the direction of a Gosport player, which resulted in his suspension for Bath's final matches of the season. Moore completed the loan spell with four appearances. He signed a new one-year contract with Reading ahead of 2014–15. On 7 August 2014, Moore joined Conference South club Basingstoke Town on a season-long loan. He debuted on 23 August in a 2–0 win at home to Hayes & Yeading United. Moore completed the loan spell with 48 appearances, which included both legs of the play-off semi-final defeat to Whitehawk, losing 2–1 on aggregate. He was named as Basingstoke's Player of the Year, voted for by the club's supporters.

On 27 February 2016, Moore joined League One club Peterborough United on a 28-day emergency loan. He debuted later that day in a 2–1 defeat at home to Swindon Town, finishing the loan with four appearances.
