Luke Isaac Hunt Moore (born 13 February 1986) is an English professional footballer striker. Moore has represented England at England U21 level and is the younger brother of former professional footballer, Stefan Moore.
As a youngster, Moore played for Romulus and Tame Valley Primary School. As a member of Aston Villa's youth academy, he was prohibited from appearing for his secondary school, Hodge Hill college,but nevertheless appeared in "a couple of cup games" for the school. Moore is the younger brother of the former Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa striker Stefan Moore. Together they were a crucial part of the Villa FA Youth Cup winning team of 2002. In December 2003 he was loaned to Wycombe Wanderers, who had failed in their approach for him earlier in the season. Moore made his Wycombe début in a 1–1 draw against Notts County on 13 December 2003. He only had to wait until his next game, against Bournemouth to score his début goal in a 2–0 victory. On 3 January 2004 he scored his first career hat-trick in a 4–1 home win over Grimsby Town.
Upon his return to Aston Villa, Moore made his first-team debut, as a substitute in a 2–2 draw against Birmingham City. His first senior goal for Villa came in the 2–0 victory against Middlesbrough on 5 March 2005. Less than a year later, on 5 February 2006, Moore scored his first Premiership hat-trick for Villa, again against Middlesbrough.
Despite Villa signing additional forwards such as Kevin Phillips and Milan Baroš in the summer of 2005, Moore kept his place in the first-team squad, starting some games and coming on from the bench in others.
