Club career

Super Reds

Having finished last in the

Incheon Korail team-mate Choi Young-Min, were signed up from the Korea National League side for the 2008 S-League
season.

Moon scored a total of seven goals during that season, netting crucial match winning goals against

In 2009, Moon decided to move back to his native South Korea to join Korea National League side Cheonan City.

Cheonan City

With a knee injury hampering him during his time back in the Korea National League, Moon had little playing time at Cheonan. However, he managed to score 2 goals during his maiden season in 2009 despite spending most of his time on the sidelines. He was deployed mostly as a substitute. He finish his season with 2 goals in 6 appearances for the club. In his second season with Cheonan, Moon did make an impact by coming off the bench to score a stunner for Cheonan against Yongin City on 30 April 2010. His knack for scoring goals when coming on as a substitute earned him the title "super-sub".[3]

At the end of the 2010 Korea National League season, despite scoring 3 goals in 10 appearances, Moon was released by the club as he struggled to recover from his injury.

Woodlands Wellington

Moon would soon return to the S.League when he was snapped up by

Tanjong Pagar United
.

Moon proved to be a shrewd signing for Woodlands, as he scored 8 goals in the latter half of the season and finished the

2011 season
as Woodlands' top scorer.

Moon kick-started the 2012 S-League season in great fashion, earning a penalty against the favoured Courts Young Lions and calmly slotting it home in the 48th minute, putting the Rams into the lead and ultimately winning the game for them.[4]
