Professional
Moyers grew up in Saint Louis and attended the University of Missouri-St. Louis where he spent one season, 1976, on the men's soccer team. In 1977, he attended a walk on trial with the St. Louis Stars of the North American Soccer League (NASL). He made the team, but saw time in only three regular season games. At the end of the 1977 season, the Stars moved to Los Angeles and became the California Surf. Moyers moved with the team and saw his appearances rapidly increase. At the end of the 1981 season the Surf folded and the New York Cosmos purchased his contract. When the NASL collapsed after the 1984 outdoor season, the Cosmos moved to the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). However, the team folded just after half way through the 1984-1985 season. Moyers then moved to the St. Louis Steamers of MISL. After scoring only once in eleven games, Moyers was released. He then moved first to the Canton Invaders of the American Indoor Soccer Association (AISA), then the Milwaukee Wave (AISA) for the 1985-1986 season. At the end of that season, he retired from playing professional soccer.
