The former Peterborough United striker has had spells at Sheffield Wednesday and now Hull City since leaving London Road in mysterious circumstances.

Sheffield Wednesday Under-23s were reunited with a familiar face on Monday, in the shape of Deon Moore.

The teenage striker spent time on trial with the Owls over the summer – scoring twice in a 3-2 pre-season victory for Neil Thompson’s side against Worksop Town.

Still, it was not enough to earn Moore – who had left Peterborough United in mysterious circumstances only a few months earlier – a full-time contract at Hillsborough.

Moore was once described as “gifted” by Peterborough boss Chris McCann, who tipped him to follow in the footsteps of another Posh teenager, Leo Da Silva Lopes, and thrive in League One.

Months later, however, the former Carshalton Town player found himself binned by the London Road outfit, having kicked up such a stink that chairman Darragh MacAnthony refused to mention Moore by name in an interview with Peterborough Today shortly after.

Little else was heard of Moore until December, when he appeared as a trialist for Hull City’s second string, as reported by the Hull Daily Mail.

And the Londoner remains with the Tigers more than two months on – replacing Abel Hernandez in his side’s 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday at Middlewood Road earlier today.

Although whether or not Moore has earned a full-time contract at the KCOM Stadium remains to be seen.
