Return to Leicester

After returning to Leicester, Moore made his debut for them two days later, starting the game against Crystal Palace on 2 January 2012.[12] After becoming a first-team regular at the start of the 2012–13 season, Moore was scouted by Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Aston Villa.[13] He signed a new three-year contract with the club in September 2012.[14]

Loan to Brentford

Return to Leicester

Moore was recalled to Leicester on 30 March 2013, to act as cover during club captain Wes Morgan's suspension.[17] Moore scored his first ever senior goal for Leicester on 14 September 2013, scoring the opener in an eventual 2–0 home victory over Wigan Athletic.[18] His impressive performances early on in the 2013–14 season saw him being named the Football League Young Player of the Month for September 2013.[19] Moore has credited club captain Wes Morgan and manager Nigel Pearson with his improved form.[20]
