Wrexham are poised to snap up striker Kieffer Moore as Phil Parkinson prepares to add a proven Championship target man to his squad.
Wrexham added Conor Coady to Phil Parkinson’s squad on Friday, with the defender completing a switch from Leicester City.
The former England international has arrived for around £2million, becoming Wrexham’s seventh signing of the summer.
Coady joins Ryan Hardie, Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace, George Thomason, Josh Windass and Lewis O’Brien in completing moves to Wrexham this summer.
Parkinson wants more signings, though, and he seemingly won’t have to wait very long to welcome his latest addition to the STōK Cae Ras.
Kieffer Moore completes Wrexham medical
Reports last week suggested that Wrexham were pushing to sign Kieffer Moore from Sheffield United.
The giant Wales international appears ready to leave the Blades, and further reports over the weekend claimed that Moore had undergone a medical with Wrexham.
TalkSPORT’S Alex Crook now claims that Moore has completed his medical and will soon be announced as a Wrexham player.
Crook claims that the deal will be worth £2million plus add-ons, with Moore becoming the latest seven-figure addition to Parkinson’s squad.
Cacace, Thomason, O’Brien and Coady have all cost seven figures and the spending is set to continue.
Parkinson loves a target man, with Ollie Palmer a key man in that role during Wrexham’s rise through the leagues.
Palmer’s playing time has declined in 2025, though, and he could make a rather emotional departure this summer.
Wrexham have now pounced to land Moore, and the 6ft 5in striker will now become Parkinson’s new focal point in the Wrexham attack.
Gareth Bale verdict on Kieffer Moore
Wrexham fans will already know plenty about Moore from his time with the Welsh national team.
Moore has bagged 14 goals in 49 caps for Wales since switching his nationality in 2019.
In a post-Euro 2016 world, Wales needed more support around Gareth Bale and a big, physical front man like Moore was the ideal addition.
Bale loved Moore’s start to life with Wales, telling The Guardian in 2019 that Moore gave Wales an ‘out-ball’.
Bale saw some great strikers at Real Madrid, but loved what Moore provided for Wales as a player who could hold the ball up and allow runners to join the attack.
Moore was hailed as ‘fantastic’ by Bale, and the pair ended up playing 20 times together, losing just five times.
“Kieffer has come in and done a fantastic job; he’s that out-ball for us now, he’s someone who can hold the ball up and someone we can play off,” said Bale.
“We have more options, which is good for us as a team, but he’s done fantastic since coming in. He’s got a couple of important goals and hopefully he can carry on that vein of form and we can qualify,” he added.
Those comments may have been some six years ago now, but Moore’s game hasn’t changed.
Moore has maybe lost a touch of pace, but he is still a huge physical presence who can cause chaos with his aerial ability, as well as linking up play in the final third.
That was the attribute Bale appreciated the most, allowing him to feed off Moore in the Wales attack.
Josh Windass may benefit in a similar way, and Bale’s comments may still ring true when Parkinson looks towards Moore to be his leading target man in Wrexham’s attack.
