He played for seven different clubs in a career spanning almost two decades, including Tranmere Rovers, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic and Rotherham United.

[11] He began his time in charge of Tranmere by bringing in nine players in the close season, including Chris Shuker and Paul McLaren.

[12] In September 2009, Rotherham United confirmed that Moore would begin a second stint as manager, assisted by former teammate Jimmy Mullen.

[15] The 2010–11 season began similarly well, but after a string of indifferent results Moore left the club "by mutual consent" in the wake of a 5–0 defeat to Chesterfield in March, with Rotherham 6th in the table.

His failure to secure Rotherham's place in the play-off spots for the second season in succession was largely cited as the reason for his second departure.

[16] On 5 March 2012, following the sacking of Les Parry, Moore made a second return to a former club, being appointed Tranmere Rovers manager until the end of the season.

[17] On 14 February 2014, it was reported that Moore was under investigation by The Football Association, for breaching its rules against betting on competitions in which his club were involved.

[19] On 31 March, the FA charged Moore in relation to alleged multiple breaches of rules regarding betting on matches.

[23] Hartlepool were at one stage ten points adrift at the bottom of the Football League and looked certain for relegation, but Moore inspired a revival in form, with the team having a four-match winning streak towards the latter stages of the season, which eventually ensured league survival in the penultimate game at home to Exeter City.

[24][25] This survival was dubbed the "great escape" by supporters which ironically relegated Moore's former club Tranmere Rovers from the Football League.

Often as a manager I would scout players myself, but I'm really looking forward to being able to solely focus on recruitment, giving it my full time and attention.
