Wigan and Wales forward Kieffer Moore seals move to Cardiff City

Cardiff City have completed the signing of Wigan Athletic forward Kieffer Moore. 

Moore joins the Bluebirds on a three-year deal with the fee expected to be less than £2m, however, it has not been disclosed by the club.

Despite the Daily Mail reported late interest from Nottingham Forest, the Bluebirds have won the race for the Welshman’s signature.

The 28-year-old was pictured yesterday undergoing a medical and will now call Cardiff City Stadium his home for both club and country. 

Moore scored 10 goals in 36 appearances last season and has scored also two goals in his five games for Wales.

Commenting on his move to South Wales, Moore said: “The interest has been there for some time. I’m thrilled to get this over the line.

“I’ve spoken to the manager and his desire is to get promoted to the Premier League and that is something I share.

“The fans were a deciding factor for me. I know I’m going to play really good football here. The game really suits me. To have the backing from the fans straight away is amazing.

“I’m looking forward to meeting all the boys and getting started.”

Manager Neil Harris was delighted to secure one of his key target’s and said: “I’m delighted to finally get him here. It is no secret that we tracked him in January but it wasn’t possible at the time. Obviously he came here and scored two goals a few weeks later.

“He’s a quality striker at this level. Our fans are fully aware of his ability – after that game and his appearances in the Welsh shirt.

“We’re very pleased to get him on board.”
