Playing career

Although Ballaghaderreen town was transferred from County Mayo to County Roscommon under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, the GAA club competes in Mayo and many of its players declare for that county. Roscommon GAA condemned fans who booed Moran in a 2017 All-Ireland quarter-final match against Mayo.

In 2011, Moran won his first All Star award, being named at full forward on the team.

In 2012, Moran, a former vice-captain, was named captain of the Mayo senior team. He then injured himself in the 53rd minute of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final defeat of Down, having to be stretchered off the field of play and left lying on a medical trolley in the tunnel of Croke Park with ice strapped to his knee. As a result, he missed the rest of the season, including the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final against Donegal, after undergoing surgery on his torn cruciate knee ligament. he returned against Galway in the 2013 Connacht quarter final and scored as mayo won 4-16 1-11 points. He was the highest scoring Mayo forward in the 2013 All-Ireland, playing a captain's part. Moran was starting against Dublin in the All-Ireland final in 2016, but the men from the west were once again agonisingly defeated by a one-point margin. Coincidentally the following year Mayo lost again against Dublin in the 2017 All-Ireland final by another one-point margin.

Moran has ended up as an All-Ireland runner-up on six occasions.
