Profile
Key strength: Shot-stopping
Shot-stopper
At 35, Simon Moore stands as one of the unsung pillars of Sunderland AFC's squad, providing experienced backup in the goalkeeping department as the Black Cats navigate a challenging mid-table campaign sitting 10th in the league. Joined in July 2024 on a deal through 2026, the English shot-stopper has yet to make an appearance this season but serves a vital role as an experienced presence behind the first-choice keeper. With a €100,000 market value reflecting his veteran status rather than potential, Moore brings 35 years of goalkeeping wisdom to the dressing room—mentoring younger keepers while remaining ready to step in when called upon. His specialized shot-stopping ability keeps him sharp for emergency situations, and his professional attitude exemplifies the kind of depth required for a club pushing to climb the table. In modern football, reliable backup keepers like Moore are worth their weight in gold, even when the minutes don't show on the stat sheet.
