1954, Brighton & Hove Albion paid £3,000 for Moore's services. While not as prolific as in his youth, he still scored a goal in every three games. He fell out of favour with manager Billy Lane, and in November 1955, he returned to the Southern League with Bedford Town. Moore was a regular in the Bedford side that reached the third round of the 1955–56 FA Cup, in which they faced Arsenal at Highbury. Bedford came back from two goals down to draw the match: with six minutes to go, "Adey's centre from the left was flicked by Yates over the groping hands of Sullivan and Moore drove the ball home." He played in the replay which Bedford for most of the second half before the First Division side equalised and then secured the win in extra time. The Daily Herald wrote that Arsenal's centre half, Jim Fotheringham, "looked crude and clumsy" against Moore. By the end of the season he had lost his place. He made two appearances in the early part of the next before moving on to Cambridge United, where he again played alongside a former England player, this time Wilf Mannion. He spent time as player-manager of Potton United, and also played for Dunstable Town. After leaving the professional game Moore updated his toolmaking skills and taught metalwork in Bedford schools until he retired in 1988. He remained in the Bedford area, where he died at his Putnoe home in 2014 at the age of 90. He and his wife, Daphne, had two daughters, Lesley and Bernadette.
