Sam Moore (born 09 September 1998 in Cardiff, Wales) is a rugby union player for Sale Sharks who has represented England at age-grade level.
Moore was joined the Sale Sharks Academy, and in July 2017 was awarded his first professional contract, a five-year deal starting from the 2017-18 season.[2] He made his senior debut for Sale Sharks against Lyon in the European Challenge Cup in October 2017.[3]
He is the son of former Wales player Steve Moore and the nephew of Andy Moore, who also played for Wales between 1995 and 2002.[4] As his father was born in England, Moore is eligible to play for them in addition to being eligible to play for Wales where he was born. He has elected to play for England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 level. Under current World Rugby regulations, Moore remains eligible to play for either the England or Wales senior teams.[5] In February 2018, Moore was included in the England senior team squad for the first time.[6]
