 After a successful loan period at Forfar, Coyle rewarded Moon with a new one-year contract.The start of the 2007–08 campaign wasn't great for Moon, after a couple of niggling injuries he never managed to force himself into recognition for a first team spot.However, his big break came when Owen Coyle, and his assistant Sandy Stewart, left St Johnstone to join English Football League Championship side Burnley, and Moon's teammate Derek McInnes was appointed as player/manager until the end of the season.
