Career

Moyo started a two-year scholarship with Northampton Town in the summer of 2011 after joining from AFC Dunstable. In October 2012, he was awarded his first squad number by manager Aidy Boothroyd, after a prolific scoring record for the youth side.[4] He made his professional debut on 3 November 2012, in a 1–1 draw with Bradford City in the FA Cup, coming on as a substitute for Anthony Charles.[5] In March 2013, he was offered a professional contract with Northampton Town along with Claudio Dias.

In the 2013–14 season Moyo spent some time out on loan at Northern Premier Division side Stamford, netting 4 goals in all competitions. He left Northampton Town on 12 January after his contract was terminated by the club.

On 12 January 2015 he signed a permanent contract with Brackley Town.

After playing for St Albans, in July 2019 he signed for Hamilton Academical.[6][7] On 29 December 2019, he scored his first goal for the club, the winning goal as Hamilton won 2–1 away to Motherwell in the Lanarkshire derby.[8] In March 2020 he signed a contract extension with Hamilton until 2021.[9]

On 7 August 2020, Moyo signed a new three-year deal at Hamilton, keeping him at the club until 2023. [10]

In November 2020, Moyo was called up for the Zimbabwe national team ahead of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.[11]
