As a junior, Moller played football for the Cronulla Sharks Junior Australian Football Club and was part of basketball's national junior development program and considered a future NBL player capable of representing Australia. At age 14, the Fremantle Football Club began developing Moller via the New South Wales AFL Scholarship Scheme.[4] Joining Fremantle on a three-year scholarship, Moller travelled to Fremantle twice a year and went on three training trips to Melbourne.[1] At the under-16 level, he began playing for the Sydney University Australian National Football Club in the North East Australian Football League, and in 2012, he spent part of the season playing for the GWS reserves.[1] In December 2012, he was officially drafted by Fremantle in the 2013 rookie draft.

After spending most of the 2013 season playing for Peel Thunder in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), Moller was elevated to the Fremantle senior list prior to the final round of the 2013 AFL season for the team's game against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.[5] He was then a late inclusion in the side as the substitute player when many senior players were rested ahead of the finals.[6]

Moller continued on with Fremantle in 2014 and 2015, but did not manage another AFL game, playing out both seasons in the WAFL with Peel Thunder. Following the conclusion of the 2015 AFL season, Moller was delisted by Fremantle.[7]

Basketball career

In early January 2016, Moller began training with the National Basketball League's Sydney Kings.[8] He and fellow Australian centre Jordan Vandenberg were brought in for tryouts by the Kings as potential injury replacements for Julian Khazzouh. Moller ultimately lost to Vandenberg for the spot but stayed on with the team as a full-time training squad member.[9] With an injury to back-up forward Jeromie Hill in early February, Moller was elevated to the Kings' playing roster for their 10 February clash with the Perth Wildcats in Sydney, the second last game of the Kings' 2015–16 season. He made his NBL debut in that game, entering the contest for the final one minute and 47 seconds of the last quarter.[10]

In March 2016, Moller joined the Sutherland Sharks for the start of the 2016 Waratah League season.[11] On 22 April 2016, after averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds in six games for Sutherland, Moller signed a short-term deal with the Ballarat Miners of the South East Australian Basketball League.[12]
