Mentioned in a youth friendly write-up: Both sides made a number of changes at the break, with Town introducing American trialist Dallas Moore and new Bermudian midfielder Reggie Lambe, amongst others. ... Midfielder Jai Reason impressed in the first-half, along with centre-back Tommy Smith. Smith's replacement at centre-back, Dallas Moore, didn't look too comfortable on the ball but wasn't really troubled defensively.

He must be a good little player as it seems he made an appearance for San Jose Frogs of the PDL at 14 years old. http://www.uslsoccer.com/teams/2007/roster/6188512.html # 31.
Here's an underwhelming review following Town's 4-1 U18 win over Colchester United: Tommy Smith looked solid at centre-back and Jai Reason had a strong game in midfield. Jordan Rhodes took his goals well, but American trialist Dallas Moore looked less than comfortable up against better opposition than he did against Southwold on Friday.

More on Moore from a match report -- loss to Southend: A minute later and Lindie flew past American trialist Dallas Moore and tried a cheeky lob over Plummer but again, his effort fell just wide of the post. ... Trialist Moore saved Town from going further behind soon after when he managed to get back to Lindie and prevent the striker from shooting at goal from inside the Town area. ... Trialist Dallas Moore again looked uncomfortable, but it was an unconvincing display from the whole Town team. Link: http://ipswichtown.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=911&p=2&stid=8452248 The report also mentions that Town had a U16 match the same day (Moore is with the U18s). I'm not sure if the age ranges match up with the way we do things here, so I don't know if he is playing "up" or, if so, how much.
Quick add: I did a little poking around and it seems like most of Town's academy was 88s, 89s and 90s last year. So even if we assume it is mostly 89s, 90s and 91s this year, if Moore is indeed a 93 then he is playing up a good bit in these matches. Wonder what the reasoning is.
Moore is still at Town -- he played a little over a half this weekend in a U18s win over Lincoln City: Town U18s: Plummer, Daniels, Tooms, C Williams (Clark 60), Watson, D Moore (Hyam 53), Upson, Ainsley, Calver, Rhodes, Murphy. Review: Curtley Williams bossed the midfield and Plummer made some fine saves in the Town goal, while American trialist Dallas Moore had a steady game at centre-back.

I keep coming here thinking it's FC Dallas' Drew Moor. Confusing me isn't hard, but this thread does it over and over
Here are some pictures. Can anyone tell if he is wearing Town colors in these? Looks like he might be. Link: http://www.tmwmtt.com/sql/players/profile.phtml?fullname=Dallas Moore
Looks like no go for D. Mo: The Blues have not offered a scholarship to American trialist Dallas Moore, who played several games for the U18s during pre-season. Link: http://www.clubfanzine.com/ipswich_town/showNews.php?id=1993
Just to set things straight. Dallas is NOT 14. Unless if we are referring to his age 2 years ago. He is born in 1990 and here is confirmation of that: http://www.sjfrogs.com/teams/6187507/6188512-6187564/6746715.html. I have also heard that he is still in England, where he will be trying out for other teams, so goodluck to him there!
Hi there, I am a big Ipswich Town fan and I actually wrote all the match reports that have been linked to, as well as taking the photos. I can confirm he is certainly not 14 years old, the link in a previous post to a profile is the correct Dallas Moore. He often seemed to get caught out too easily in the games I saw him play, about five friendlies, and didn't really win enough in the air for a centre-back. Any more questions, please feel free to ask and I will try and answer them! Thanks James
Dallas was back in the States playing for his team here in November: http://www.ussoccer.com/articles/viewArticle.jsp_3768324.html
Oh well. He had some fun! Shame he's not a 93. He and Renken could have made quite a physically dominating U-17 squad
