Elliott Jordan Moore (born 16 March 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for OH Leuven, on loan from Leicester City.

Club career

Leicester City

Born in Coalville, England, Moore began his career at Leicester City at the age of 6, training with the club's Academy development group before signing a contract with the club at the age of 8. He gained his scholarship at the age of 16 and helped the under 18s reach the semi-final of the FA Youth cup in 2014–15.[3] He made his under 21s debut at the age of 16 against Coalville Town in the Westerby cup winners final on 31 July 2013.[4] Moore went on to make over 60 appearances for the club at under 21 and 23 levels and captained the under 23s side during the 2016–17 season.[5] His performance in the 2014–15 season earned him a nomination for Leicester's Academy Player of the Year award but lost out to Ben Chilwell.[6]

On 18 May 2017, Moore was called up to the first team but appeared as an unused substitute in the 6-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on the last game of the season.[7] He then joined the first team's pre-season tour to Austria and Asia, during the summer of 2017 and made his first appearance for them on 19 July 2017.[8] He came on as a half-time substitute in the Asia Trophy semi-final win over West Bromwich Albion in front of a crowd of 40,000.[2]

In August 2017, Moore signed a new two–year contract, keeping him at the King Power Stadium until July 2019 and signed another two–year contract until 2020 the following June.[2][9]

OH Leuven (loan)

His new contract with Leicester City included a loan deal that saw him join OH Leuven, also owned by King Power.[2][10][11]

Moore immediately featured in the starting lineup at OH Leuven one day after signing for the club, in a match won 7-1 against Cercle Brugge.[12] Since making his OH Leuven debut, Moore quickly established himself in the side.[13] On 27 August 2017, Moore scored the 8th goal for OH Leuven and his first for the club in an 8-0 cup win against Turnhout.[14] Moore then scored his first league goal for the club on 8 September 2017, in a 2-0 win over Tubize.[15] He scored again on 3 October 2017, in a 3-0 win over Cercle Brugge.[16] Moore then captained the side for the first time following an injury of Dimitri Daeseleire, in a 2–2 draw against Cercle Brugge on 2 February 2018.[17] He captained the following match against Lierse on 11 February 2018 before suffering an injury.[18] Moore then returned from injury as captain on 1 April 2018, in a 2–2 draw against Zulte Waregem.[19] As the 2017–18 season progressed, Moore was featured as captain in number of matches for the rest of the season, as OH Leuven were unsuccessful returning to top–flight league football.[20] Moore finished his first season at OH Leuven, making 35 appearances and scoring 3 times in all competitions.

Following the 2017-18 season, Moore rejoined Leuven on loan for a second season.[21]

International career

In June 2015, Moore was called up for the England U18 squad and made his only appearance for the side, in a 2-1 defeat over Russia U18.[22]

In June 2017, Moore was called up for the England U20 squad for the first time ahead of Toulon Tournament.[23] He made his England U20 debut on 1 June 2017 as a 68th-minute substitute in a 7-1 win over Cuba.[24] He made his full debut three days later in a 2-1 win over Japan.[25] England went on to win the Tournament and Moore received his first medal at international level.
