Tottenham Hotspur`s promising young winger, Moore, has emphatically rediscovered his scoring touch, bagging an impressive hat-trick for the England Under-19 team. This sensational performance comes as a crucial boost following a challenging loan spell with Scottish Premiership side Rangers, signaling a significant return to form for the 18-year-old.
A Resounding Treble for the Young Lions
Having previously netted a treble for England`s U17s in November 2023, Moore`s latest accomplishment marks his first hat-trick for the U19 squad. The talented winger, featuring prominently in the starting lineup alongside fellow Spurs talent Callum Olusesi, broke his scoring drought just before half-time, doubling England`s lead after an initial goal from Shumaira Mheuka. He then completed his personal triumph and solidified England`s dominant victory with two more goals in the 58th and 65th minutes. Both Tottenham players were later substituted, with 23 minutes remaining in the match, having made their significant impact.
Struggles and Potential at Rangers
A Tottenham academy graduate who made his senior club debut in 2024, Moore embarked on a season-long loan to Scottish Premiership club Rangers this August. His tenure at Ibrox, during what has been a challenging 2025-26 campaign for the Glasgow giants, has seen him make five appearances, starting three times, and featuring in ten matches across all competitions for a total of 452 minutes. While he is yet to find the back of the net for Rangers, he has provided one crucial assist.
Despite his difficulties in club football, Moore`s exceptional national team display signifies a significant and timely return to form.
Looking Ahead: From International Stage to Club Impact
Moore`s stellar performance for the national team provides a crucial confidence boost. The young winger will now aim to carry this momentum back to Rangers after the international break, hoping to translate his goal-scoring prowess into a more impactful role for his loan club. His journey to Rangers followed a 2024-25 season where he was considered one of the few bright spots for Tottenham, even amidst the club`s Europa League-winning campaign. He made his senior debut under then-head coach Ange Postecoglou in the Carabao Cup, subsequently making appearances off the bench in various Premier League and Europa League fixtures. Tottenham had initially fended off interest from several clubs, including Serie A giants Juventus, before ultimately agreeing to Rangers` loan bid.
England`s U19s are now preparing for another international friendly, facing neighbours Wales next Tuesday. Moore will undoubtedly be looking to further increase his goal tally for the English youth side, boosting his confidence even more before rejoining his Scottish Premiership club for the remainder of the season.
