to play for the first time in the Premier League.
Moore made his competitive Newcastle United debut on 22 March 2006 against Chelsea
in the FA Cup
quarter-final, becoming the first Australian to play for the magpies. His actual first game came at home to Yeading
in which he scored one of five goals. Injuries ruined Moore's Newcastle
career, and he only made 8 premiership appearances in the 2005–06 season
.
Moore was then injured in November 2006 and was ruled out for several months. He returned but struggled to get back into the team, with Peter Ramage
, Steven Taylor
, and Titus Bramble
keeping him out. After Titus Bramble
's dip in form, Moore returned to the first team. Moore made 17 premiership appearances in the 2006–07 season

Moore's career with the Roar did not start well. He was sent off in the 69th minute in the first game of the season against Adelaide United for a second yellow card. Although Queensland were trailing at the time 2–1 came back to level the score at 2–2 and hold on for a draw. He scored his first goal for the Roar in their 2008–09 season round four clash with Perth Glory. Queensland went on to win 3–0.
In December 2008, Craig was fined for lodging bets totalling $600 on two matches involving A-League teams with betting exchange Betfair. These matches did not include his own side, and because of this, it was deemed a fine was a satisfactory punishment, with the Roar labelling it as an 'honest mistake'.
Moore left the Roar in December 2009, after falling out with the coach Ange Postecoglou
and wanting a move to Europe to increase his chances of 2010 World Cup selection.
It was reported on 31 March 2010 that his contract with Kavala had been terminated after an off-field incident.
