Kevin Moore (born 30 November 1965) is an Australian former rugby league football coach and player.

Playing career

[edit]

As a player, he played as a scrum-half. He played for the Halifax team in the Championship (1984–1986). He then joined the Canterbury Bulldogs team in 1989, where he remained until 1994.

Coaching career

[edit]

Moore became the head coach for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs of the NRL from the 2009 season and was named in place of Steve Folkes after his retirement.[2] He led the club to a second-place finish in 2009 and guided them all the way to the preliminary final before they were defeated by arch rivals the Parramatta Eels in front of a record non-grand final crowd of 74,549. Canterbury had gone into the game as favorites despite Parramatta's dream run at the back end of the season.[3]

Moore was sacked midway through the 2011 season after the club underachieved in the ensuing two years, failing to make the finals in either 2010 or 2011.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

He is the son of Peter "Bullfrog" Moore. He is also brother-in-law to his predecessor, former Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes.
