Simon William Moore (born 19 May 1990) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Cardiff City. He has also represented Isle of Wight at international level.

Early career

Born in Sandown on Isle of Wight, Moore started at Brading Town. He was signed by Premier League side Southampton academy.[3] Moore revealed he was released by the club for being too small.[4] He returned Isle of Wight based side Brading Town,[5] before signing for Farnborough.[3]

Brentford

Moore signed with Brentford in August 2009 after spending the summer at the club on trial,[3] but had to wait until May 2010 to make his debut, when he appeared against Hartlepool United as a substitute for regular number one goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny.[6][7]

Basingstoke Town (loan)

He was loaned out in October 2010 to Basingstoke Town and played until January 2011, in 10 games for the club.[8]

Brentford return

The 2012–13 season was Moore's breakthrough season at Brentford. He started the season as an understudy to goalkeeper Richard Lee. During Lee's time out injured Moore put in some good performances and cemented his place in the Brentford team under Uwe Rosler.

He helped Brentford reach the FA Cup fourth round, this included a 2–2 draw with European Champions Chelsea,[9] and finish third in the league missing out on promotion on the final day of the season after a dramatic game with Doncaster Rovers.[10] Brentford entered the play-offs, where they were drawn in the semi-final against Swindon Town.

Brentford reached the playoff final defeating Swindon in the semi-finals on penalties (Moore saved Miles Storeys' spotkick in the shootout), but they lost the final to Yeovil Town 2–1.

Cardiff City

On 29 July 2013, Moore was signed by Malky Mackay a four-year deal with newly promoted Premier League side Cardiff City.[11] After failing to displace David Marshall, Moore was sent out on loan to Bristol City on 30 January 2014, not long after new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær took charge of Cardiff. He was sent out on loan to get a regular run of games. Whilst out on loan to Bristol City, Cardiff were relegated from the Premier League.

Bristol City (loan)

On 30 January 2014, Moore joined Bristol City on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 campaign and went on to make 11 appearances for the side.[12] He made his debut on 1 February in a 2–1 win against Carlisle United.[13]

Cardiff return

Moore had to wait until the following season (2014–15 season) to make his debut for Cardiff City in a 2–1 victory away to Coventry City in the League Cup. He made his league debut for Cardiff City keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory in the Championship at home to Fulham on 10 January 2015.[14] Towards the end of the 2014–15 season, Moore had a regular run of games for Cardiff under manager Russell Slade, including an impressive performance in a 2–1 victory against his old club Brentford.[15]

International career

Moore played for the Isle of Wight in the 2009 Island Games.[6][16]
