Playing career
editDuring his playing career he turned out for several Scottish clubs including Dumbarton, Heart of Midlothian, St Johnstone, Partick Thistle and Morton.
Management career
editMoore was appointed manager of Stirling Albion in 2002, succeeding Ray Stewart. At this time, the club was languishing at second bottom of the Third Division. Moore's impact was recognised instantly, and in the 2003–04 season he successfully guided Stirling to promotion to the Second Division. Steady progress in the next few years culminated in yet another promotion, via the playoffs, to the First Division at the end of the 2006–07 season. However, this proved too much for Stirling, as the club were relegated back into the Second Division after just one season.
In October 2009, Moore expressed a strong interest in taking the vacant managers position at former club Greenock Morton, citing the move as an opportunity to work at a full-time club. Moore then confirmed that he had been given permission to speak to Morton.[2] However, after Morton approached Albion over the release of Moore, the compensation package of £160k – £180k was too much for Morton chairman Douglas Rae, and the deal was called off.[3]
Moore was appointed manager of Greenock Morton on 26 May 2010.[4] He won the First Division Manager of the Month for August 2011, and won it again in October 2012[5] and December 2012. Moore was sacked after a 5–1 home defeat to Livingston on 23 November 2013.[6]
Moore was appointed manager of Arbroath in June 2014.[7] He was sacked in April 2015 following poor form.[8]
In November 2017, Moore was handed the role of assistant manager to Danny Lennon at Scottish League Two club Clyde.[9] In October 2022, the club announced that Moore will take over on an interim basis, following Lennon's departure.[10] This spell ended when Jim Duffy was appointed manager on 7 November.[11]
Business interests
editAccording to an interview with team-mate Paul Cherry in the "J-Files" fanzine, issue 1 of November 1998, Moore operated a burger van during a housebuilding boom seen in Perth from the late 1980s as his St Johnstone career peaked. The enterprise declined in interest once builders moved on to other sites.[12]
