Moult tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a game against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium in August 2019.
He had surgery to repair the ligament then had subsequent operations to trim knee cartilage and to get rid of scar tissue on his hamstring.
In April Moult returned to PNE's matchday squad for the games against Swansea and Brentford, with him an unused substitute in both.

After signing for Burton, Moult told iFollow Brewers: "I was really keen get it over the line pretty soon, as were the club and the gaffer when I spoke to them.
"I've always kept an eye on Burton Albion - I'm from Stoke and I know some of the lads, like John Brayford.
"They showed their interest pretty early and I was flattered by it. For me, I just want to concentrate on my football now so the earlier I got it done for me and my family, the better.
