Kieffer Moore: Salary, Age, Height, and Key Facts

Most footballers don’t get asked whether they’re related to a World Cup winner. Kieffer Moore does.

Full name: Kieffer Roberto Francisco Moore ·
Date of birth: 8 August 1992 ·
Height: 1.96 m (6 ft 5 in) ·
Current club: Wrexham AFC ·
International team: Wales ·
Position: Striker

Six biographical facts, one pattern: Moore’s career is defined by upward mobility — from non-league to the Championship, and now to a high-profile Wrexham project.

The takeaway: Moore’s physical profile — rare height combined with a striker’s build — has been a constant across every club he’s played for.

How much does Kieffer Moore earn?

Kieffer Moore’s salary at Wrexham

Moore’s move to Wrexham on 5 August 2025 came with a three-year contract reported by BBC Sport. The exact financial terms remain undisclosed, but multiple third-party sources have attempted to estimate his earnings.

• SalaryLeaks (a fan-run aggregator) estimates Moore’s base salary at £1.3 million per year, or £25,000 per week, with an additional £100,000 in annual bonuses (SalaryLeaks).
• TransferFeed lists Moore as Wrexham’s top earner at €1.9 million per year, roughly €36,000 per week (TransferFeed).
• SalarySport puts his weekly wage at $27,400, equivalent to about $1.4 million annually (SalarySport).

Kieffer Moore’s net worth

Publicly available estimates for Moore’s net worth are scarce. The Guardian noted that Wigan had previously paid £3.75 million for him — a fee that, combined with his Bournemouth transfer (worth up to £5 million per BBC Sport), suggests a career earnings figure in the low to mid millions. Without verified financial disclosures, any net worth number is a rough estimate.

The implication: Moore’s earning trajectory — from non-league Truro City to a Championship top earner — mirrors his unconventional career path.

Is Kieffer Moore related to Bobby Moore?

Kieffer Moore’s real name

No, the two are not related. Kieffer Roberto Francisco Moore — his full name per Wikipedia — shares only a surname with the 1966 World Cup-winning England captain. The shared “Moore” surname is a coincidence, not a family connection.

Bobby Moore biography

Bobby Moore (1941–1993) was the captain of England’s 1966 World Cup-winning team and a legendary West Ham United defender. He made over 600 appearances for the Hammers and earned 108 caps for England (Wikipedia). There is no biographical link between the two footballers.

Why this matters: The question surfaces often because Moore’s surname triggers automatic association with a national icon — but the answer is simply “no relation.”

What is Kieffer Moore’s ancestry?

Kieffer Moore’s parents

According to biographical records, Moore’s father is English and his mother is Spanish, from Seville (Wikipedia). This dual heritage explains his full name: Kieffer Roberto Francisco Moore — the Spanish middle names reflect his mother’s background.

Kieffer Moore’s heritage

Moore qualifies for Wales through residency rules, having lived in the country during his time with Cardiff City. He made his senior debut for Wales in 2019 and has been a regular squad member since, scoring five international goals in 15 appearances as of 2023 (Wikipedia). His ancestry is English and Spanish, not Welsh — his birthplace is Torquay, England.

The trade-off: Moore’s Welsh eligibility is a quirk of the system — a player born in England with Spanish heritage but no Welsh bloodline represents a nation through residency, something that occasionally surprises fans.

Why is Kieffer Moore not playing?

Kieffer Moore injury

Moore’s playing time at Sheffield United in the 2024–25 season was limited. He joined the Blades on 15 July 2024 on a three-year contract per BBC Sport, but by August 2025 he had already moved to Wrexham. No major injury has been reported in the transfer coverage from ESPN or WalesOnline — it is more likely that game time was limited under the Blades’ managerial setup.

Kieffer Moore transfer status

Moore is now at Wrexham, who compete in the Championship after promotion from League One. The move, announced on 5 August 2025, sees him return to the second tier where he previously played for Cardiff City and Bournemouth (BBC Sport).

The pattern: Moore’s career has been marked by frequent moves — nine clubs in 15 senior seasons — meaning “not playing” at one club often precedes a transfer rather than a long-term injury.

What is Kieffer Moore’s real name?

Kieffer Moore’s full name

His full name is Kieffer Roberto Francisco Moore (Wikipedia). The given name “Kieffer” is of Cornish origin — a variant of the Welsh name “Cyffi” — and is rare even in the UK. His middle names, Roberto and Francisco, are Spanish, reflecting his mother’s heritage from Seville.

Why is he called Kieffer?

The name was chosen by his parents. Moore has never publicly explained its origin in detail, but it is often asked about because it sounds similar to “Kieffer” — a common misspelling fans use when searching for him online. The correct spelling is K-I-E-F-F-E-R.

The catch: The Kieffer/Bobby Moore confusion is not the only naming quirk — fans searching for “Keiffer” (with two Es) are referring to the same player, just misspelling his first name.

Quotes from around the game

“He’s a handful for any defender — his height and strength make him a unique weapon.”

— Wales manager Rob Page (via BBC Sport)

“I’m excited to be part of what’s happening here at Wrexham. The ambition is clear.”

— Kieffer Moore on joining Wrexham (via Nation.Cymru)

“His rise from Truro City to the Premier League is one of football’s great stories of persistence.”

— The Guardian profile (via The Guardian)

“He’s a player who can change a game in an instant with his aerial ability.”

— WalesOnline analysis (via WalesOnline)

For Wrexham fans watching their club return to the Championship for the first time since 1982, the question isn’t just what Moore earns — it’s whether a striker who has changed clubs nine times in 15 seasons will finally find a home. The transfer fee and wage suggest Wrexham is betting on exactly that. If Moore stays fit and delivers the kind of aerial threat that made him a Wales international, he could be the difference between survival and another promotion push. For a player who started at Truro City in the sixth tier, that would be a fitting next chapter.
