Career

Born in Carlisle, Cumbria, Moxon played in Carlisle United's academy, before being released in 2014.^[2]

Queen of the South

Moxon began his senior career at Queen of the South. Moxon was first included in a senior match-day squad on 1 August 2015, remaining an unused substitute for their 4–3 extra-time win over Annan Athletic in the first round of the Scottish League Cup.^[3] In the next round, on 25 August 2015, Moxon made his debut, replacing Kyle Hutton for the final 14 minutes of a 1–0 defeat to Greenock Morton at Palmerston Park.^[4] Moxon played his first league game on 5 September 2015, appearing for the final 7 minutes, replacing Mark Millar as Queens lost 2–0 at Palmerston versus St Mirren in the Scottish Championship.^[5]

On 30 January 2017, Moxon moved on loan to Lowland League club Gretna 2008, for the remainder of the season.^[6] Moxon's contract was not renewed by Queen of the South, so after two seasons he was released by the club in May 2017.^[7]

Annan Athletic

On 22 June 2017, Moxon signed for Scottish League Two club Annan Athletic.^[8]

Return to Carlisle United

Moxon signed for Carlisle United in 2022, and was named in the EFL League Two Team of the Season in his first season with the club.^[9] He also received the Carlisle United player of the season award.^[10] Following promotion, the club confirmed that they had received a transfer offer for the midfielder which they had rejected.^[11]

In January 2024, Moxon was subject to transfer speculation following manager Paul Simpson's admission that the midfielder had rejected the offer of a new contract.^[12]

Portsmouth

On 1 February 2024, Moxon signed for League One leaders Portsmouth on a three-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.^[13]
