Playing career
Mooniaruck started his career at Norwich City youth team, having controversially signed for Manchester United on 3 March 1999.[1] He remained at United until January 2003 before being released without a single appearance for the first team, despite playing for England U-20 in a friendly match against Germany U-20.[2]
After his release, Mooniaruck had unsuccessful trials with Rotherham United, Queens Park Rangers, Grimsby Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Swindon Town, Sheffield Wednesday and Leyton Orient before signing for Braintree on August 2003. He was released early in 2004 after the club stated that his skills and style of playing were not suited for Ryman League. He later joined local club Bishop's Stortford on the same year, playing for the club until 2006.
On August 2006, Kalam joined Cambridge City, switching for Thurrock on January 2007 and signing for Saffron Walden Town before the end of the season when he announced retirement to become a coach for a David Beckham's football school. He came out of retirement to sign for Tiptree United on 2008, playing two games before leaving football.
International career
Born in England with Mauritian heritage, he played for England U-20 in 2001. In 2005, he played two matches for the Mauritius national football team.[3]
