Career & Clubs
Early career
Moffat began his career in the youth teams of Scottish giants Rangers before moving on to Ross County in search of first team opportunities. He began to break into the Ross County first team under manager Alex Smith, making his first team debut late in May 2005. Soon after the 2004–05 season, Ross County fired Smith and brought in John Robertson as manager. The new manager did not rate Moffat as much as his predecessor and Moffat's opportunities declined.
Elgin City
Moffat moved to Scottish Third Division side Elgin City ahead of the 2006–07 season in search of more playing time. While with Elgin City, Moffat worked part time at a Gap store to make ends meet as he would only make a few hundred pounds per game. He made his debut for Elgin City on 9 September 2006 in a 2–0 loss to Dumbarton. Moffat scored his first goal for Elgin City on 23 September in a 2–1 loss to Berwick Rangers. On 9 December, he scored the winner in a Scottish Cup match against Buckie Thistle. He scored twice on 14 April to give Elgin City a 2–1 win over East Stirlingshire. Moffat made 29 appearances and scored 7 goals across all competitions during the season. The season was a struggle for the team, as they finished second bottom in the table, or 41st out of 42 Scottish league teams. While at Elgin city, Moffat contemplated retiring from football to go to university.
