Playing career

Early career

Moore was born in Glasgow and joined Dundee United at under-14 level.[1] He was a prolific scorer at youth level and after impressing in the SPFL U20 League was loaned to Airdrie United for the latter part of the 2012–13 season in order to gain first-team exposure.[2] On 23 December 2015, he left Dundee United by mutual agreement.[3]

Airdrie United

Moore was loaned out to Scottish First Division side Airdrie United in February 2013[2] and scored on his debut from the penalty spot against Hamilton Academical in a 2–2 draw.[4] He went on to make a total of nine appearances for Airdrie,[5] scoring once more in a defeat away to Cowdenbeath before returning to Dundee United at the end of the season.

Dunfermline Athletic

Moore was once again loaned out for the 2013–14 season, this time to Scottish League One side Dunfermline Athletic where he was joined by fellow Dundee United players Ryan Ferguson and Luke Johnston.[6] He made his debut for the club in a Scottish League Cup match on 3 August as a substitute for Ryan Wallace in the final three minutes of a 2–0 away win.[5] Three weeks later he was given his first start for the club and scored twice as Dunfermline beat Stenhousemuir 5–4 away.[7] He netted another brace on 2 November, in a 5–3 win at Elgin City, with two goals in a minute, the first a penalty which he won himself when fouled by David Niven.[8] Four days later however, he was sent off for two bookings in a 1–3 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox, the second coming for conceding a penalty with a foul on Lee McCulloch, who converted the spot-kick.[9]

Queen's Park

On 2 February 2015, Moore went on loan to Scottish League Two club Queen's Park until the end of the season.[10] Six days after signing, he made his debut in a 4–1 win over Montrose, scoring two late goals, one from the penalty spot.[11] He played seven more matches for the Glaswegian club, scoring once more, a last-minute winner as a substitute away to Elgin City on 14 March.[12]

Cancer and recovery

In April 2014, Moore revealed he had been receiving treatment for skin cancer.[14] His team-mates at Dundee United[15] and Dunfermline[16] wore T-shirts in support. In late May he then announced that his cancer had gone and he would soon return to playing football once his surgical wounds had healed.[17]

Moore received support from Hibernian manager and testicular cancer survivor Alan Stubbs during his illness.[18] He returned to football despite being told that there was only a 1% of chance of him playing the sport again.[18] Moore was given a Special Merit Award at the PFA Scotland awards in May 2015.[18]
