Moore was involved in the Daniel Farke’s senior squad for the friendly against Manchester United in Oslo recently and was handed some invaluable game-time to provide him with a boost heading into the new season.

The 19-year-old, a vital cog in the promotion-winning U21s squad in Premier League 2 Division 2 last season, has showcased his talent at centre-half and right-back and was one of the under-21s most consistent players last term.
