Wrexham's Moore aiming to stay the distance

What the report says

Kieffer Moore says he has taken extra steps to protect himself from the injury problems that disrupted his first season at Wrexham and kept him out of Wales’ World Cup play-offs. The BBC Sport Wales report says the 34-year-old striker has been working on a revised recovery and fitness routine after a hamstring issue and other setbacks limited his availability last term.

Moore made an immediate impression after joining from Sheffield United last summer, scoring 12 goals by late December and giving Phil Parkinson’s side a strong target in attack. However, his form and rhythm faded as injuries mounted, and he scored only once more before Wrexham’s promotion push ended on the final day of the season. The article says the same pattern also affected his Wales involvement, with Moore describing it as painful to watch from the sidelines.

The forward started the new Championship season well by scoring Wrexham’s opening goal in Monday’s 1-1 draw with Cardiff City. Parkinson praised his performance, while the report notes Moore’s aerial strength and hold-up play remain important to Wrexham’s approach.

More broadly, the piece frames Moore’s situation as a test of durability in a demanding Championship campaign. With no immediate new striker arrivals expected, Wrexham will be hoping their leading forward can sustain the early promise across the full season.
