Louis Elliot Moult (born 14 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.
Moult, a prolific goal scorer in Stoke City's academy and reserve side, appeared in a Premier League game in March 2010. After this Moult struggled to gain a place in the Stoke squad and was sent out on loan to Bradford City, Mansfield Town, Accrington Stanley and to Mansfield for a second time. He was released by Stoke in June 2012 and signed for Northampton Town. He subsequently played non-league football for Nuneaton Town and Wrexham, before moving to Motherwell in 2015.
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, Moult joined Stoke's Academy from local youth club Stoke Arrows, and has been a prolific goalscorer for the academy. After a number of impressive displays he started training with the first team and was also included in several reserve matches scoring against Fulham, Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers and twice against West Ham United. He made his professional debut as a substitute on 12 August 2009 in a 1–0 League Cup win over Leyton Orient and followed this up by playing again in the cup against Portsmouth. He was involved in a League game squad for the first time on 10 March 2010 and made his league debut five minutes before the end of a 1–1 draw at Burnley. Moult earned praise from Stoke academy coach Adrian Pennock after his League debut.
