But Wrexham striker Moore has no plans to slow down any time soon.
Moore heads to Wembley on Thursday night looking to add to his 15 international goals when Wales face England in a high-profile friendly, aimed to prepare Bellamy’s men for the crucial World Cup clash at home to Belgium four days later.
“When I hit 15 goals for Wales I did have a little scroll of the all-time list to see who’s in and around me,” Moore said with a grin.
“Robbie Earnshaw is one ahead of me and the gaffer (Craig Bellamy) is not far away on 19.
“We had a little chat about it and he said if I got too close he’ll stop playing me!
“I’ve set a target, but I’m just very thankful for the journey I’ve had so far. Each goal has been an amazing moment for me.”
Moore’s total puts him 11th in Wales’ scoring charts, with Earnshaw, Mark Hughes and Cliff Jones next on 16 and Bellamy’s 19 goals now within reach.
Gareth Bale’s record 41 remains a distant dream, but Moore’s steady rise reflects a career built on steady improvement and adaptability.
“To get to the point of having 15 goals and 50 caps is incredible,” he added.

“And I’ve also been to the Euros and a World Cup. I’m just really proud of how far I’ve come.”
The 32-year-old’s resurgence with Wrexham this season has fuelled talk of another productive spell in the red shirt of Wales.
Having joined the Championship newcomers in the summer, Moore has quickly become a favourite in north Wales — and he says his good form has carried into the international camp.
“I’m loving life at the moment,” he said. “I’m doing my best for Wrexham and for Wales. I said I wanted to get off to a good start when I went to Wrexham and I’ve managed to do that.”
Thursday’s Wembley meeting offers Moore a chance to add another memorable moment to his collection.
He has already played at the stadium twice — once for Sheffield United in last season’s Championship play-off final and once for Wales behind closed doors during Covid — but says this will feel different.
“I played in the Championship play-off final with Sheffield United last season and I played there for Wales during Covid,” he said.
“The rivalry with England is for other people to talk about.
“We’d love to go there and win and we’d love to get a result, but ultimately I think the reason why Craig chose this game is he wants us to progress. We need to play better nations.
“We need to try different systems against different formats of players. The way England are going to play against us, I think we haven’t really had that test.
“We just need to keep testing ourselves against these different formations and players. I think it’s only going to help us when we do come up against teams like Belgium.”
That fixture against Belgium follows next week — another challenge Moore relishes, not least because he has happy memories against the Red Devils.
“They’ve obviously got top players and it’s always a difficult test against them,” he said.
“I’ve enjoyed playing against them in the past and got a few goals. Maybe that’s because whenever we’ve played them it’s been a big occasion, an occasion we’ve had to rise to.
“I love those big moments, and if I can make a big impact in a big moment, that’s incredible.
“We drew 1-1 last time we played at home and that really helped us. The goal I scored that night is definitely up among my favourites for Wales.”
Whether or not Moore edges closer to Bellamy’s mark in the coming days, he has already cemented his place as one of Wales’ most dependable forwards of the modern era — and if the goals keep flowing, Bellamy might just have to rethink that tongue-in-cheek threat about leaving him out.
