Kris Moore is yet to make his professional debut at senior level but the Leeds United talent is now set to do so as he is about to join Hibernian on loan – and has jetted out to Dubai to join his new side.
Moore, 20, continues to impress for the club’s Under-21 side – now clocking up 58 appearances for the second string. He has also been on the bench once this season, in the Carabao Cup win vs Shrewsbury.
He has got to the point where he needs to leave Leeds. There was a point in the summer where he may have been hopeful of getting game time at senior level – playing in a friendly against Manchester United.
But instead, he has been limited to captaining the U21 side this term – given the form of Joe Rodon on the right of central defence. Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper and Charlie Cresswell sit ahead of Moore, too.
Reports earlier this month stated that Moore was set for a move to Scottish Premiership side Hibernian, on loan. Now, TeamTalk report that Moore is off to Hibs – with a loan deal done for the top-tier outfit.
Leeds man Kris Moore jets out to Dubai ahead of Hibernian move
He has flown to Dubai to join Hibernian’s squad ahead of their warm-weather training camp, before a return to action on January 20 – when they take on Forfar in the Cup. Moore is set to be involved.
He could even play in a friendly that Hibs have organised on the 12th, out in Dubai, against Swiss side Servette – the club Leeds raided to sign defender Diogo Monteiro, Moore’s U21 centre-back partner.
So, in what is our third bit of business this summer after recalling Sonny Perkins and cancelling Djed Spence’s loan, Moore is set for a loan move to Hibernian. He has a contract at Leeds until 2025.
