Ipswich Town have today completed the signing of Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore on loan for the rest of the season. The signing of the Wales international was confirmed by Ipswich’s official website itfc.co.uk.
Multiple clubs were interested in signing the 31-year-old; however, he has chosen Ipswich Town as he bids to play his way into Wales’ Euro 2024 play-off squad for the semi-final against Finland in March. The 6ft 5in striker is now likely to go straight into the the Tractor Boys’ squad for their game at Preston North End on Saturday.

Bournemouth’s Wales international Kieffer Moore has spoken about his loan move to Portman Road. He said:
“It’s great to finally get it over the line because it’s been a long time coming during the window,” Kieffer told TownTV.
“I remember my first spell here and I’ve gone away and worked very hard on myself during that time, so I’m delighted to be back and can’t wait to get going. I was really excited when I spoke to everyone here and now I just want to meet the group, get out on the pitch and contribute.”
