[12][13] He finally signed a new one-year contract with Crewe in July 2011, having held out for some months in the hope of attracting interest from bigger clubs.

Two of these goals came against in 1–1 draws with local rivals Port Vale, as his strikes won a crucial two points in the club's play-off push.

[42] On 23 July 2019, he signed with League Two side Plymouth Argyle, becoming the fifth player from financially troubled Bury to follow manager Ryan Lowe from Gigg Lane to Home Park that summer.

"[50] On 29 October 2021, Moore signed for National League side Torquay United after having impressed manager Gary Johnson on trial.

[53] On 11 February 2022, Moore joined National League North side AFC Telford United on a deal until the end of the 2021–22 season.

[58] Crewe Alexandra manager Steve Davis criticised Moore for his lack of goalscoring ability during the course of his time at the club, though stated that this was the player's only weakness as a winger.
