Oxford United are pleased to welcome Joe Moore to the club as our new Men’s First Team Coach Analyst.
Joe joins the club from Arsenal Women, where he was Lead Football Analyst since 2022, having previously worked for Fulham Football Club for four years.
Moore has also worked closely with Head Coach Des Buckingham during his time as Head of Performance Analysis at New Zealand Football.
Joe told us: “It’s a really exciting time to come in. After the international break we have seven big games and it’s important we have a strong end to the season. I've had a great welcome from the staff and the players, and I’m looking forward to getting on with it.
“The Gaffer gave me a call to see if I'd be interested and it's something that I immediately wanted to do. During our time with New Zealand we developed a good working relationship, and we have a clear understanding of what we both want from each other.
“For me, it's about giving the Head Coach and the coaching team the information they need to be able to go and be successful. That means being concise and clear with the detail I give them so it can enhance performance.
“I’m coming in and want to build process. We need to try and impact the here and now, but the reality with these roles is we're aiming to put in place frameworks and processes that allow us to monitor and improve performance over a long period of time.”
Des Buckingham said: “Joe is a great addition to the staff and we're delighted to have him on board. We know how each other operates and it comes at a really good time for the club.
"He comes with a wealth of experience from some diverse settings that will help give us that extra edge. This is another step in the right direction for the project that we are building."
