Football career
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Moré first played professionally for Real Valladolid (where he was coached by his father, José),[1] but managed only seven La Liga appearances from 2002 to 2004. On 19 January 2005, he had arguably his best moment with the Castile and León club, scoring in a 1–1 away draw against Real Madrid for the season's Copa del Rey and being essential as his team progressed to the quarter-finals on the away goals rule.[2]
Moré then moved to CD Castellón, being an undisputed starter for the second division side and also being managed by his father, and Pontevedra CF in the third level.[3] On 4 August 2009, after his contract to the Galicians expired, he signed with another club in division three, Real Oviedo.[4]
