 Julien Moore signed a first team contract for Harchester United in June 2009 after being a part of the club's Youth Academy since the age of 14.
Moore had impressed in many Reserve team appearances during the 2008/09 season, so much so that the then-18 year old was awarded and then signed a first team contract the following summer.
Moore continued to impress whilst playing in the first team throughout the 2009/10 season, including on his debut away at Standard Liege in the Champions League in which he scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory.
He also secured the club Champions League football for the following year as he grabbed the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final game of the season.
This capped off a fantastic season on the pitch, but off it Moore had a hard time as he recieved alot of abuse regarding his sexuality as he'd openly confirmed he was gay during an interview with a tabloid newspaper in a bid to fight stereotype and homophobia in football.
As a football and as a professional, Moore continued to grow throughout the following season and played a vital part in Harchester United finishing second in the Premier League as well as winning the Carling Cup for the first time in the club's history.
