Craig Andrew Moore (born December 12, 1975 in Canterbury ) is a former Australian football player . The center- back spent most of his twenties with the Scottish Glasgow Rangers . He then played in the German Bundesliga with Borussia Mönchengladbach and in the English Premier League with Newcastle United .

For the Australian national soccer team , he completed over 50 international matches and took part in the 2006 and 2010 soccer world championships . At the 2004 Summer Olympics , he reached the quarter-finals with the Australian soccer team.

Club career

Glasgow Rangers

In 1993 Moore left Australia at the age of 17 and went to Scotland to join the Glasgow Rangers . After a short stay in their youth department, he played with a short break for the Scottish record champions until 2005. From October 1998 to March 1999 he was briefly under contract with the then English second division club Crystal Palace . Moore was five times Scottish champion and four times winner of the Scottish FA Cup with the Rangers .

Because of his participation in the 2004 Summer Olympics , he missed the first league games of the 2004/05 season in Scotland, which brought him trouble with coach Alex McLeish . In the resulting dispute he was deposed as team captain and put on the transfer list. He left the club in the following winter break for the German Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach .

Borussia Monchengladbach

He played for half a year with the relegation-threatened Gladbachers. In his first Bundesliga game against Arminia Bielefeld , he scored the winning goal to make it 1-0. In the 1: 2 against FC Bayern Munich on matchday 28, he was sent off with a yellow-red card . In total, Moore played 13 league games for Gladbach, who ended the season in 15th place, just one point ahead of relegated VfL Bochum . After his former Rangers coach Dick Advocaat left the club in April 2005, Moore also saw no future in playing for Borussia. The club finally terminated the contract, which originally ran until 2006, prematurely after Moore had appeared for training in a drunken state before the last match day.

Newcastle United

In July 2005 he signed a two-year contract with Newcastle United from the English Premier League . On March 22, 2006, he made his competitive debut in the FA Cup quarter- finals against Chelsea . During his time at Newcastle he was injured several times. For this reason he did not manage to prevail against the strong competition in defense. In May 2007, Newcastle's trainer Sam Allardyce announced that he would no longer plan with Moore.

Brisbane Roar

On July 25, 2007 Moore signed a contract with the Australian first division club Queensland Roar (now Brisbane Roar). The Australian was diagnosed with testicular cancer while in Queensland . After removing a testicle, Moore was able to return to his team after a few weeks. In December 2009, Brisbane terminated the contract with Moore. The reason for this were differences that emerged in a conversation Moore with trainer Ange Postecoglou .

AO Kavala

Moore's last stop was the Greek club AO Kavala, where he played from January to March 2010 when his contract was terminated prematurely.

After the World Cup in 2010 , he ended his career.

National team

He made his debut for the Australian national team in 1995 at a game in Ghana . By the end of his career in 2010, he had made 52 international matches in which he scored three goals. In 2001 and 2005 he took part in the Confederation Cup. In the first tournament he received the yellow-red card in the lost semi-final against Japan shortly before the end of the game and was subsequently missing in the game for third place, which Australia won against Brazil . Moore was also in the Australian squad at the two soccer world championships in Germany in 2006 and in South Africa in 2010 , where he was a regular player in central defense. In 2006 he reached the round of 16 with his team, with Moore scoring Australia's penalty goal to equalize 1-1 in the 2-2 game against Croatia . In 2010 the tournament ended for the Australians after the preliminary round.

With the Australian Olympic selection he took part in the 2004 Summer Games in Athens and reached the quarter-finals with his team.

After the active career

From 2012 Moore worked for nearly three years as a scout, consultant and ambassador for the Australian Football Association . From 2015 to the beginning of 2018 he was the football director of his former club Brisbane Roar. He then worked as an international players' agent for an agency based in Glasgow.
