The 28-year-old striker is preparing for a four-way positional battle at Elland Road after signing from Burnley on Thursday with David Healy, Rob Hulse and Marlon King.

Moore said in the Yorkshire Evening Post: "I don't expect to walk into the team and in all honestly I don't want to. There were times at Burnley when you felt in the comfort zone, like there was no real pressure on you to perform. It's not good for a player to be in that position and strong competition is ten times better.

"There are three other top-class strikers here and we'll all have to step it up. That suits me and it will suit them too. If a club's serious about reaching the Premiership you need a strong squad to back up a quality team."
