On 30 July 2015, Moore joined Scottish League One side Ayr United on loan until 4 January 2016.[9] On 5 January 2016, Moore's loan with Ayr United was extended until the end of the season.[10] After a successful season with the Honest Men, it was confirmed in July 2016 that Moore would return on loan to Somerset Park for the 2016–17 season.[11]
