A popular member of the Owls side that finished 11th in the Northern Premier League East Division, where supporters praised his attitude and application, tipping him for a bright future in the game. 19 year old Moore-Billam progressed through the youth ranks at Glanford Park, making half a dozen first team appearances. Last summer, he signed his first one year professional deal as a nod to the progress he had made in the Iron youth set up.
In a bitter-sweet mome
nt, Jack made his first team debut in the EFL Trophy game against Manchester City u23s. Despite losing 0-3, Moore-Billam was able to share the pitch with the likes of Jack McAtee, and hot England Youth International Cole Palmer. An experience Trinity's new signing uses as a bench mark for his own performances to aspire to:
"I am delighted to have signed for this club and I’m looking forward to the season ahead working under Bish. I can’t wait to get going and meet all the lads!" Jack was quick to outline his ambition for the forthcoming season, as he intemated, "Hopefully I can help the team push for promotion this season and see the club back where they deserve to be!"
The teenager featured for the youthful Scunthorpe side that defeated Tom Shaw's Gainsborough Trinity in the 2021/22 Bluefin Lincolnshire County Cup Final. A match that Neal Bishop watched from the sidelines, before monitoring the youngster's progress.
Jack joins a long list of players and staff that have made the switch from Claret & Blue to Holy Blue in recent times, with Bish &.Stampy well respected by large numbers of the Glanford Park support - and current squad members George Hornshaw & Lewis Butroid having also played for United in recent times.
