Career

Moore was born in Newcastle upon Tyne.[4] He began his football career in Newcastle United's Academy, then played non-League football for Bishop Auckland and Whitley Bay before taking a degree in journalism at Rutgers University in New Jersey. On returning to England in 2008 he rejoined Whitley Bay,[5] and, after a one-game stint at Durham City,[6] was part of their FA Vase-winning team in 2009.[7] In March 2010, he turned professional for the first time, signing a contract with Football League Two club Darlington to run until the end of the 2010–11 season.[5] He made his debut in the Football League two days later as a half-time substitute as Darlington lost 2–0 at Northampton Town.[8]

In September 2010 he joined Northern League club Spennymoor Town on what turned out "an impressive month"'s loan, scoring three goals from six games (one from five in the League).[9][10] Moore was part of Darlington's FA Trophy winning side, playing all 120 minutes against Mansfield Town on 7 May 2011.[11] He was not offered a new contract and was released by Darlington a week later.[12]

In July 2011, Moore went on trial at Gateshead.[13] He played in five pre-season friendlies[14][15][16][17][18] before signing an initial six-month contract on 27 July 2011.[19] He made his Gateshead debut as a second-half substitute on 13 August in their 3–2 win over Kidderminster Harriers at Aggborough.[20] He scored his first goal for Gateshead in his first start 10 days later in a 3–1 win against Southport at Haig Avenue.[21] On 31 December 2011, Moore had his contract extended until the end of the season.[22] Moore was released by Gateshead on 30 April 2012.[23]

Moore joined Barrow in August 2012, and subsequently moved onto Darlington 1883, Blyth Spartans, Consett and Ashington,[24] before becoming manager of Durham City in November 2015.[25] He left Durham in October 2016,[26] and subsequently coached at Whitley Bay and North Shields. In May 2018 he was appointed manager of Consett.[24] In May 2019 he left the club to join Sunderland as a youth coach.[27]
