[edit] Football career

[edit] Crystal Palace

Moses attended Stanley Technical High School in South Norwood and then later Whitgift School in Croydon where former Palace player and coach Steve Kember had been coaching the school football team.

Moses has caught the eye of many top clubs and Palace chairman Simon Jordan has said on numerous occasions that Chelsea have tried to sign the youngster. Moses burst onto the first-team scene aged just 16 during the 2007-08 under Neil Warnock, and by the end of that campaign became a fans' favourite.

[edit] England

Moses has played for England at under-16 and under-17 level. He travelled with the squad to the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea. Moses finished as the Young Lions' top scorer, netting three times in the Group B fixtures, but sustained an injury in the victory over Brazil that ruled him out of the competition. Moses' teammates went on to reach the quarterfinal stage.

Since that tournament he has been promoted to the under-18 side and later to the under-19 side.
