By Harry Corish To be sung to the tune of Guide Me O’ Thou Great Redeemer (Bread of Heaven) . . . “Six foot seven, bread of heaven, feed me till I’m Kieffer Moore.” He’s actually only 6ft 5in but no wonder Wales fans felt they needed a hymn with which to praise their World […]

By Paul Jones Wales boss Robert Page admitted his team selection for their opening Nations League game in Poland was influenced by Sunday’s World Cup play-off final. Skipper Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Ben Davies and Joe Allen were all rested as Wales slid to a 2-1 defeat in Wroclaw – their first loss for nearly […]

Six years ago, Kieffer Moore worried his career had frozen but now he is one game away from the heat of a desert World Cup and the biggest hat-trick of his life. The Wales striker is about to become a Premier League player with Bournemouth, has got engaged to fiancé Charlotte Russell, and now just needs a place at the World Cup finals to make 2022 the year that made Moore merrier Yet back in 2016, the 6ft 5in hit man was returning from a stint in the Nordic city of Stavanger, where he failed to break the ice by scoring a single goal for Norwegian club Viking.

It’s coming. D-day for Wales in their bid to make the World Cup finals. But few things are certain about this fixture, including the eventual full starting team that manager Robert Page will plump for. Daniel Parker reckons nine are nailed on, but two more will keep us guessing . . . and arguing. Sunday 5th June – it’s getting a bit close for comfort now, isn’t it? We’re less than three weeks away from Wales men’s golden opportunity to end 64 years of hurt by qualifying for a World Cup, and there remain a host of Rusmfeldian “known unknowns” in play.

Kieffer Moore has been hailed as “amazing” by his manager Scott Parker after the Wales striker’s dramatic goal sent Bournemouth back to the Premier League on a night of double Welsh celebration for the club. Moore fired home a decisive late winner against Nottingham Forest as The Cherries claimed the second automatic promotion sport behind champions Fulham with a 1-0 victory. It was Moore’s third goal in two substitute appearances for Bournemouth who went into the match in upbeat mood after the news that Moore’s Welsh clubmate David Brooks has been given the all-clear after cancer treatment.

By Harry Corish Wales and Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore has been accused of elbowing Flynn Downes by Swansea City head coach Russell Martin. The former Cardiff City forward scored two goals to inspire Bournemouth to a 3-3 comeback draw against the Swans on Tuesday night. Moore, who came on as a substitute following 10 weeks […]

Kieffer Moore forced his way out of Cardiff City by declaring he wanted to leave, manager Steve Morison has insisted. Wales striker Moore joined Bournemouth on deadline day for a fee variously reported as between £3.5m and £5m. Morison, whose Bluebirds side face Barnsley on Wednesday night, has claimed he tried to persuade Moore to stay but that once the 29-year-old handed in a formal transfer request the club decided to sell him.

By Tom Prosser Steve Morison reckons he could have done no more in his final audition for the role of Cardiff City’s new manager.  The Bluebirds caretaker boss finished his caretaker spell at the helm by guiding his club to a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield and is now the bookies favourite for the job. “We’ll just have to watch this space,” said Morison.

By Paul Jones Cardiff City striker Kieffer Moore has revealed he his going to change his style of play after becoming “super conscious” of getting booked when going for an aerial challenge, he is next in action for the Bluebirds in the South Wales derby on Sunday but will the fans see a different Moore in action. The 6ft 5in forward scored an early winner in Estonia on Monday to keep Wales in the hunt for a World Cup play-off place. But he later collected a second booking in qualification after contesting a high ball, meaning he will miss the Belarus game in Cardiff on November 13.

Without injured Gareth Bale, Welsh hopes of goals in the Czech Republic on Friday night may well rest on the shoulders of Kieffer Moore. The Cardiff City striker has hardly enjoyed a prolific start to the season but Wales manager Rob Page insists he has kept faith, as he tells Graham Thomas. Kieffer Moore has been backed to rediscover his goalscoring touch by helping Wales move a step nearer World Cup qualification on Friday night. The Cardiff City striker has endured a lean season so far, with just one goal in 13 matches for his club following his 24 goals for club and country last season.

Cardiff City have been warned that promotion-chasing West Brom will not be knocked out of their stride by a physical approach when they visit the Bluebirds on Tuesday night. Mick McCarthy and his team are desperate to stop the rot for the home side who have lost five of their last six games in all competitions and three on the trot in the Championship. The Yorkshireman is a manager under pressure with fans growing restless after the 5-1 hammering suffered at Blackburn Rovers last weekend, but any attempt to muscle their way to a result will be countered, according to West Brom boss Velerien Ismael, whose team have only lost once this season.

Kieffer Moore has been left drained of his goalscoring powers by Covid, according to his Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy. The Wales striker has only scored once in 10 matches so far this season and his boss reckons it’s due to a double interruption forced by the virus. Moore – who hit 24 goals for club and country last season, including one at the Euros finals – went down with coronavirus in July, almost immediately after returning from summer duty with Wales.
