Kieffer Roberto Francisco Moore (born 8 August 1992) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for the Forest Green Rovers.

Moore started his career with Conference South side Truro City, having as a teen been a part of Torquay United's youth system and playing for South Devon League Division 2 side Paignton Saints. Moore joined Dorchester Town in February 2013 due to Truro's continued financial difficulties, and he finished his first season in the Conference South with 20 goals. His goal-scoring record brought him to the attention of Yeovil Town for whom he signed in July 2013. After making more than fifty appearances for Yeovil, Moore was released and had a brief spell with Norwegian side Viking before returning to English football with Forest Green Rovers.

Career

Non-league

Born in Torquay, Devon, Moore began his football career playing in the youth system of Torquay United until the Devon outfit were forced to fold their youth system.[3] Moore subsequently played for Torbay side Paignton Saints in the South Devon League Division 2,[4] before in July 2012 he went on trial and subsequently signed for Conference South side Truro City.[5] On 18 August 2012, he made his debut for Truro City in a 2–1 defeat against Billericay Town.[6] Moore scored his first goal for Truro a week later in a 1–1 draw against Conference South leaders Salisbury City,[7] Moore scored for the second time in three days when he headed home a free-kick from player-manager Lee Hodges, in a 2–0 victory over Weston-super-Mare helping Truro to their first victory of the season.[8] The turn of the year saw Moore score seven goals in seven games in January and early February 2013, but after scoring the 80th-minute winner in Truro's 2–1 win over Hayes and Yeading it was announced that Moore was set to join fellow Conference South side Dorchester Town.[9] Moore left Truro City having scored 13 times in 24 appearances for the Cornish club, his manager Hodges described his transfer as "a really big loss" and that it "came out of the blue that he decided to leave".[10]

Moore joined Dorchester Town on 11 February 2013, signing an 18-month contract with the Dorset side,[11][12] he made his debut for Dorchester the following day in a 3–2 win over Bath City.[13] Moore grabbed his first goal for Dorchester in the following match with a consolation goal in a 2–1 defeat against Basingstoke Town.[14] On 19 February 2013, Moore returned with Dorchester to his former club Truro City and scored a brace in a 2–1 victory for Dorchester to take his goal scoring tally to three goals in his first three matches for Dorchester.[15] Moore's 18th and 19th goals of the season came during Dorchester's 3–2 victory over AFC Hornchurch, two audacious goals first an impudent finish with his right foot and then repeating the feat with his left foot to give his side a late winner.[16][17] A thigh injury restricted Moore to just 13 appearances for Dorchester but he still managed to take his goal scoring tally to 20 goals for the season finishing as the Conference South's fourth top scorer. Moore's performances for Dorchester were enough for Football League side Charlton Athletic to offer him a trial in May 2013.[18]

Yeovil Town

In late June 2013, Moore joined newly promoted Football League Championship side Yeovil Town on trial for their pre-season.[19] On 6 July 2013, Dorchester Town confirmed they had agreed terms with Yeovil Town for the transfer of Moore for an "undisclosed fee", but that Moore had yet to agree personal terms or have a medical with the club.[20][21] Moore subsequently signed a two-year contract with Yeovil on 10 July 2013.[22] Moore made his debut for Yeovil as an 82nd-minute substitute in their Football League Cup first round victory over Southend United, on 6 August 2013.[23] On 14 September 2013, Moore made his Football League Championship debut for Yeovil against Sheffield Wednesday as an injury time substitute.[24] Moore scored his first senior goal for Yeovil, on 4 January 2014, in the FA Cup third round in a 4–0 victory against Leyton Orient.[25] Moore's first season in the Championship ended prematurely with a calf injury meaning he missed Yeovil's final three matches as they failed to avoid relegation back to Football League One.[26] Overall he made 24 appearances for Yeovil in his first season scoring five times making him the club's joint third top goalscorer.

Moore was released by Yeovil at the end of the 2014–15 season following their relegation to League Two.[27]

Viking

On 3 August 2015, Moore signed for Norwegian Tippeligaen side Viking on a one-year contract.[28] After a short spell with the Norwegian side, he was made available for transfer at the end of the season.

Forest Green Rovers

Having been made available for transfer Moore returned to England and spent time on trial with League Two sides Exeter City,[29] and Leyton Orient.[30] On 18 January 2016, Moore signed for National League side Forest Green Rovers until June 2017.[31] He made his debut for the club on 23 January 2016, playing as a central defender in a 1–0 home win against Braintree Town.[32] His first goal for the club came in a 2–2 away draw at Barrow on 27 February 2016.[33]
