Wrexham SHOCK! Signs Kieffer Moore in £2M Deal! Promotion Incoming?
Wrexham AFC has made a major splash in the transfer market, securing the signing of veteran striker Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United for a reported £2 million. The announcement marks Wrexham's eighth signing of the summer, signaling their ambitious intentions for the upcoming season.
Moore's Experience a Key Factor
The 32-year-old Moore, whose birthday falls this Friday, brings a wealth of experience to the Racecourse Ground. Having previously achieved promotion from the Championship with both Bournemouth and Ipswich Town, Moore's proven track record is expected to be a valuable asset for Wrexham as they navigate their League Two campaign. He arrives ahead of their season opener against Southampton.
"I’m over the moon to join the club and can’t wait to get started," Moore stated on the club's website. "I want to be that experienced leader and bring a lot to the team. My work ethic is one of my strongest assets and I want to be someone that can help drive the team forward."
Boosting Wrexham's Ranks
Moore joins a growing list of experienced players arriving at Wrexham, including Conor Coady, Lewis O’Brien, Josh Windass, Ryan Hardie, and Danny Ward. These additions are aimed at bolstering the squad with much-needed second-tier know-how. George Tomason and Liberato Cacace round out the club's summer acquisitions.
Last season saw Moore contribute to Sheffield United's journey to the Championship play-off final, where they ultimately fell to Sunderland at Wembley.
With 49 international caps to his name, Moore joins a crowded strike force at the SToK Cae Ras. Wrexham are also reportedly pursuing Ipswich Town’s Nathan Broadhead in a potential £7.5m deal, showcasing their commitment to strengthening their attacking options.
What's Next for Wrexham?
Wrexham's recent friendlies against FC Groningen provided a glimpse into their tactical approach, with manager Parkinson utilizing different lineups across two fixtures. The addition of Moore will undoubtedly add another dimension to their attack as they aim for continued success and a potential push towards League One.
