Taylor Moore

Early career

Moore was born in Walthamstow in East London, but moved to France as a seven-year-old. Moore spent a year in the academy of his local side West Ham United before moving to France. Upon arriving in France, he joined amateur club Etaples before joining the academy at Lens at the age of 12.. In September 2026 he moves to FC Košice

Lens

Having made a progression through the Lens academy, Moore signed his first professional contract with the club on 8 December 2014. On 3 May 2015, with Antoine Kombouaré as coach, he made his first-team debut for Lens, starting in an away derby match against Lille playing out of position at right back and producing an assist for his team's only goal in a 3–1 loss. Moore went on to make four appearances in the 2014–15 season. In the 2015–16 season, Moore made five appearances for the club. However, his first team opportunities were limited after he fell out of favour with manager Kombouaré and was sent to play in the reserves. Despite this, Moore was the subject of a €10 million transfer bid from Lyon in the January transfer window. Lens rejected the bid, demanding €15 million instead. Moore was expected to leave the club by the end of the January transfer window, but no club made an offer and he stayed at the club for the rest of the season. Ahead of the 2016–17 season, Moore's future at Lens became uncertain and he found himself linked with a move back to England, with Bristol City, Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton,…

Moore represented England at England U17 and England U18 levels, and captained the England U19s. He was a part of the U17 team that won the European Championships in 2014. He has six caps for the England U20s.

As of end of 2025–26 season

Moore has three brothers, Aston, Jaxon and Keaton. He attended Staples Road Primary School in Loughton, Essex, before he moved to France aged 7. Moore is fluent in French without any foreign accent. Following a suicide attempt from his mother, Moore was inspired to start the 5k Your Way initiative, encouraging participants to join in a five-kilometer walk while engaging in open conversations about mental health. For his work, he was named EFL Community Player of the Year at the 2025 EFL Awards.
