Club career
Kortrijk Moffi left Nigeria and moved to England to join the Buckswood Football Academy at Hastings, East Sussex at the age of 17, and thereafter moved to Lithuania with Kauno Žalgiris. He eventually joined Riteriai, but had visa issues that delayed his debut. Moffi eventually scored 20 goals in 29 leagues games for Riteriai, and transferred to Belgian club Kortrijk in January 2020.
Lorient On 1 October 2020, Moffi joined Ligue 1 side Lorient on a permanent deal.
Nice On 31 January 2023, he signed for Nice on loan until the end of the season, with an obligation-to-buy for €30 million and a 15% sell-on clause in favor of Lorient. In the 2023–24 season, he became his club's top scorer with 11 goals.
On 30 November 2025, after a run of six consecutive defeats, Moffi and several other Nice players were attacked by supporters as they got off the team bus following their 3–1 loss away to his former side Lorient. As a result, Moffi was placed on sick leave for one week.
Porto (loan) On 30 January 2026, Moffi joined Portuguese Primeira Liga club Porto on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season, with an optional buy-clause of €8 million.

Moffi scored his first two goals for Nigeria on June 13, 2022, against São Tomé and Príncipe. With his brace, he contributed to his team's 10–0 victory.
