Wrexham have achieved incredible success in the last few years, as they have climbed the English pyramid from the National League to the Championship with three consecutive promotions.
The ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac has transformed the club and made them into a force both on and off the pitch, with Ben Foster pointing to Wrexham’s facilities being an advantage that meant he was not surprised by their rise to the second tier.
The former Manchester United keeper only spent six months at the Red Dragons in his second spell at the club before he retired from football; however, he has felt a great affinity for the club due to this short spell.
Foster believes Wrexham will be a Premier League side within the next few years due to the owners’ investment in the summer transfer window, as they spent £33 million on new signings.
Now a Wales international has given his view on Wrexham and how they are destined to be a Premier League team in the future.
Kieffer Moore believes that Wrexham will be a Premier League club
Kieffer Moore is currently on international duty with Wales and is set to play an important role in their World Cup qualification when they face Belgium in Cardiff on Monday.
The Wrexham striker has been key for his club this season after joining from Sheffield United for £2 million this summer, having scored four goals in his nine Championship appearances.
Moore gave his honest opinion on Wrexham’s start to their campaign in the second tier, believing that it has been slow; however, speaking with the BBC, he believes the ‘sky is the limit’ for the Welsh club.
He said: “The sky is the limit. You only have to look at what’s happened over the last few years, the stand they’re building and the infrastructure being put in place.
“The club is definitely destined for the Premier League. When a club comes up from League One and spends £30m, it shows the intent of what they want to achieve.
There’s a bit of added pressure with the attention the club gets, but I’ve always loved having that burden of responsibility and think it’s a massive honour.
“The people we’ve brought in are exceptional. It’s taking us a bit of time to hit our stride, but when everything comes together, we’ll creep up that table.”
Kieffer Moore could be key to Wrexham’s journey after he retires
The Wales international is now 33 years old, and despite the striker showing no signs of slowing down with his performances for both club and country, everything must come to an end.
He has prepared for life after his playing career, as Moore graduated from the Professional Footballers’ Association Business School with a diploma in sport directorship.
This may see him become a key part of Wrexham after he retires to help them achieve their ambitions off the pitch by becoming a Premier League club, as he explained to the BBC.
He said: “I don’t want to retire someday and have the feeling of not wanting to do something or not being able to stay active.
“I want to remain in football, and going into a director role or similar really appeals to me. I’ve always loved the intricacies of how football clubs are run. So doing this [degree] was a gateway, if I get the opportunity.”
