In 217 first-class games overall, he scored 5,337 runs at 18.72 on the difficult pitches of the time. He recorded three centuries, with his best a knock of 113 against Somerset. His other tons came at the expense of MCC (105) and Warwickshire (102*). He took 49 wickets with his right arm medium pace, at a cost of 28.08 apiece, with his best bowling return of 4 for 40 coming against Sussex whilst playing for the MCC. He was also on the MCC groundstaff at one time. A short plucky man, Moorhouse had the reputation of being a fine cover-point fielder.
