Another Signing for Wrexham! Wales Striker Kieffer Moore Set for Medical Ahead of £2m Transfer

Wrexham Strengthen Again with High-Profile Signing Backed by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney

There’s a fresh buzz around North Wales. Once again, Wrexham AFC — the club famously rejuvenated under the Hollywood spotlight — is making headlines, this time with the imminent arrival of Wales international striker Kieffer Moore. According to Sky Sports, the Sheffield United forward is scheduled for a medical with Wrexham this Saturday as the final stage in what’s expected to be a £2 million transfer.

It’s yet another bold move from club owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who continue to back manager Phil Parkinson with ambition and financial support as Wrexham prepare for life in the Championship. The deal, if finalized, will mark one of the most high-profile signings in Wrexham’s modern history.

What Happened?

Since clinching promotion to the Championship, Wrexham have wasted no time bolstering their ranks — particularly in attack. The club had already secured the services of two seasoned forwards: Ryan Hardie from Plymouth Argyle and Josh Windass from Sheffield Wednesday. Adding Kieffer Moore into the mix would significantly elevate Wrexham’s attacking threat, especially in terms of aerial ability and physical presence.

Moore, 31, joined Sheffield United last summer and featured in 28 Championship games for the Blades, notching five goals along the way. While not an explosive return, Moore’s impact often went beyond numbers. His towering frame, ability to hold up play, and relentless work rate made him a valued part of the setup.

If he signs on the dotted line, Moore won’t just bring quality — he brings pedigree. He’s no stranger to the Championship, having previously starred for Cardiff City, where he bagged 20 goals during the 2020–21 season.

The Bigger Picture: Wrexham’s Momentum

This isn’t a one-off stunt. Moore’s expected signing is yet another indication that Wrexham’s project is not just about movie scripts or viral moments — it’s about sustained, strategic growth.

Since the takeover, Reynolds and McElhenney have invested heavily in not just players, but infrastructure and community outreach. Their commitment has seen Wrexham go from non-league obscurity to now being on the cusp of challenging some of England’s most historic clubs.

Phil Parkinson, who has overseen the club’s meteoric rise, has been clear about the need to evolve the squad for the Championship. In Moore, he potentially gets a striker built for the rigours of the second tier.

What Wrexham Said

When recently asked about transfer speculation, Parkinson didn’t exactly pour cold water on the Moore links. Speaking to local reporters, he said:

“Kieffer’s under contract at Sheffield United. He’s one of a number of players we’ve looked at over the summer. Like I said, the landscape changes in the transfer market very quickly from one week to the next. We’re looking at lots of options here and abroad.”

While it wasn’t an outright confirmation, the club’s silence since speaks volumes.

While Moore prepares for a new chapter, Sheffield United are already eyeing a replacement. According to sources close to the Blades, they are exploring a deal to bring back former striker Oli McBurnie. The Scotsman left Bramall Lane for La Liga side Las Palmas last year in a surprise move but is reportedly keen to return to English football.

Should McBurnie complete the move, it would soften the blow of Moore’s departure and give United another focal point in attack.

Kieffer Moore: A Quick Profile

• Age: 31
• Height: 6ft 5in (196 cm)
• Previous Clubs: Yeovil Town, Rotherham, Barnsley, Cardiff City, AFC Bournemouth, Sheffield United
• Wales Caps: 39 (10 goals)
• Strengths: Aerial duels, hold-up play, physical presence

His track record at both club and international level speaks for itself. Moore is the type of striker who can anchor an attack, pull defenders out of position, and chip in with important goals — precisely the profile Wrexham will need in the demanding Championship campaign.

Fan Reactions

Unsurprisingly, Wrexham supporters have greeted the news with excitement.

“Moore is exactly the kind of striker who can boss defenders in this league,” tweeted one fan.

“A proper no.9 to lead the line. We’re not here to make up the numbers,” another posted.

The general sentiment is that Moore could be the final piece in a puzzle that’s been taking shape over the past three years — a team capable of not just surviving, but competing in the second tier.

What’s Next for Wrexham?

With the season set to begin on August 9, Wrexham have a serious task ahead of them: their first game back in the Championship will see them travel to Southampton — one of the pre-season favourites for promotion.

But this is Wrexham — a club used to defying expectations. And with owners like Reynolds and McElhenney pulling the strings behind the scenes, fans dare to dream again.

Moore’s arrival could very well be the final statement of intent before the curtain rises on what could be a historic season for the Red Dragons.

Conclusion: More Than Just Another Signing

Kieffer Moore’s potential arrival at Wrexham isn’t just another transfer story — it’s symbolic of the club’s transformation. From National League battlers to a legitimate Championship force in the making, Wrexham continue to raise eyebrows.

And with an experienced Welsh striker ready to lead the line, there’s every reason to believe that the best is yet to come at the Racecourse Ground.

The medical is set, the paperwork awaits. Now, Wrexham fans simply count down the hours.
