Moseley joined Pontypool RFC in 1983, spending nine seasons at the club including two as club captain. He made his debut for Wales during the 1988 tour of New Zealand. At the time, rugby was an amateur game, and Moseley was not given time off by his employer to travel, resulting in his resignation in order to go on the tour.{{cite web |url= http://www.therugbypaper.co.uk/features/my-life-in-rugby/19158/my-life-in-rugby-kevin-moseley-former-pontypool-newport-and-wales-lock/ |title=My Life in Rugby: Kevin Moseley – former Pontypool, Newport and Wales lock |date=2014-10-28 |work=The Rugby Paper |publisher=Greenways Publishing |access-date=2015-01-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303211830/http://www.therugbypaper.co.uk/features/my-life-in-rugby/19158/my-life-in-rugby-kevin-moseley-former-pontypool-newport-and-wales-lock/ |archive-date=2016-03-03 |url-status=live}}
