Wales are set to face England at Wembley on Thursday evening, with a pair of Wrexham players set to feature in the fixture.
Craig Bellamy, Wales manager, selected Wrexham stars Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead for the latest international break when they will face the Three Lions and Belgium.
Moore has already made 50 appearances and scored 15 times while wearing a Welsh shirt and is excited at the prospect of making more across the coming years.
However, he has one target that he wants to achieve with Wales, and that includes beating a record held by a Cardiff City legend.
Kieffer Moore aiming to beat Robert Earnshaw’s goalscoring record for Wales
Robert Earnshaw was a key striker for Wales and Cardiff City throughout his career and almost earned the Welsh a draw at Wembley in 2011.
This performance under former manager Gary Speed is one Craig Bellamy wants Wales to emulate against England this Thursday; however, to come out with a win after they lost that fixture.
Should Kieffer Moore manage to be the hero and score against the old enemy, then he will equalise Earnshaw’s record for Wales, with the Wrexham star aiming to better his 16 and to even get more than his manager’s tally of 19.
Speaking to Wales Online, he said: “When I hit 15, I did have a little scroll and see who was up and around there.
“I was speaking to Rob Earnshaw earlier. I think he’s got one more than me. So I said to him, ‘You’re next on the list’.
“We [Craig Bellamy] briefly had a little chat about it, and he basically joked that if I got too close, he’d stop playing me.
“Of course, I’ve set a target, and if I hit it, then incredible, but I’m very, very thankful for the journey I’ve had so far.”

Kieffer Moore is unlikely to become the most prolific Wales international
While nothing is ever impossible when it comes to football, some things can be considered outlandish, and one of those would be Moore becoming the record scorer for Wales.
His tally of 15 goals in 50 appearances is commendable, but at 33 years old, he does not have too long left in his career at the elite level.
Beating Bellamy’s tally of 19 is achievable; however, the rest of those on the goalscoring charts may be a stretch too far for the Wrexham star.
| Rank | Player | Goals | Appearances |
| 1. | Gareth Bale | 41 | 111 |
| 2. | Ian Rush | 28 | 73 |
| 3. | Trevor Ford | 23 | 38 |
| 3. | Ivor Allchurch | 23 | 68 |
| 5. | Dean Saunders | 22 | 75 |
| 6. | Aaron Ramsey | 21 | 86 |
| 7. | Craig Bellamy | 19 | 78 |
| 8. | Robert Earnshaw | 16 | 59 |
| 8. | Cliff Jones | 16 | 59 |
| 8. | Mark Hughes | 16 | 72 |
| Kieffer Moore | 15 | 50 |
Ian Rush currently occupies second place in the list of Welsh goal scorers with 28, while way out in front is Gareth Bale with 41.
This does appear to be impossible for Moore to beat, but never say never; should he find incredible form under Bellamy, who is to say that he cannot score 30 more goals for Wales?
