Born in the Leicestershire town of Loughborough, Moore began his career with Leicester City, where he was captain of the youth team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2010–11 FA Youth Cup.
Moore signed a one-month loan contract with Bradford City on 5 August 2011. He made his senior debut on 6 August 2011 in a 2–1 defeat away to Aldershot.

On 20 February 2013, Moore joined Brentford on loan until the end of the 2012–13 season. He made seven appearances that season.
Moore was recalled to Leicester on 30 March 2013, to act as cover during club captain Wes Morgan's suspension.
