Position: Striker

LUKE Moore completed a permanent £3million move from Villa in May 2008, after penning a three-year deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.

The young striker joined the Baggies on loan in February that year and made three starts and seven substitute appearances as they clinched the Coca-Cola Championship title.

The fee could rise to £3.5million depending on performance-related criteria.

Moore carried his impressive pre-season form into the start of the last campaign and the early signs were promising as he bagged a brace in Albion's 3-2 win at Peterborough in August.

The striker added another two goals to his season's tallty and remained in and around the first team until the end of March - but from that point onwards did not make an appearance.

He was mainly used as a substitute in the 2008/09 season, with the highlight of an otherwise frustrating season being his first goal for the club as he opened the scoring in a 2-1 win over Manchester City in December.

Moore, who won his fifth England Under-21 cap in a goalless draw with Poland at Molineux in March 2008, is a product of Villa's youth system.

He was a prolific goalscorer for their Academy and reserve teams and, alongside brother Stefan, was part of the club's FA Youth Cup-winning side in 2002.

Moore followed his sibling into the first team reckoning at Villa Park and scored his first top-flight goal in the 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in March 2005.

The 2005/06 season proved his most lethal in a claret-and-blue shirt, scoring eight Premiership goals in 16 starts, including a hat-trick at Middlesbrough in a 4-0 win in February 2006.

Moore got off to a flyer during 2006/07, scoring twice in the first eight games, only for a shoulder injury to rule him out for six months.

But the 5ft11in striker returned to action in March 2007 and underlined his predatory instincts by netting twice in half-a-dozen late-season substitute appearances.

In total, Moore made 41 starts for Villa, plus 57 sub appearances, scoring 15 goals.

He also scored four goals in six appearances during a loan spell at Wycombe in 2003/04.
