Kieffer Moore was the third signing on a notable transfer deadline day for the Cherries in January 2022.
Born in Torquay, the striker started his career with Truro City, before moving to Dorchester Town in February 2013, finishing the Conference South season with 20 goals to his name.
Having caught the eye of Yeovil Town, the striker put pen-to-paper that summer and went on to make over 50 appearances for the Glovers.
He then had a brief spell with Norwegian club Viking, before returning to English football with Forest Green Rovers.
A loan stint with hometown club Torquay United saw Moore net five goals in four games, grabbing the attention of Championship outfit, Ipswich Town.
After another loan to Rotherham, where he scored a total of 13 goals in 20 matches, and permanent spells with Barnsley and Wigan, the forward signed for Cardiff City in August 2020.
A successful campaign in south Wales saw him be named as the PFA Player of the Month in February after scoring five goals in seven matches. He subsequently picked up the club’s Player of the Year award three months later.
Internationally, Moore received his first call up to the Welsh national team in May 2019, scoring his first goal for his country in the Euro 2020 qualifier against Slovakia.
He went on to represent Rob Page’s side at the Euro Finals, scoring the equaliser in a crucial 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the group stage.
Moore arrived on transfer deadline day in January 2022, signing a three-and-a-half year deal at Vitality Stadium.
He made his debut for the Cherries against Birmingham City at Vitality Stadium, coming on as a late substitute. However, whilst challenging for a ball, he suffered a broken foot, leaving him sidelined for several months.
Moore made his return against Swansea City in April 2022, coming on as a second half substitute with the Cherries trailing 3-0. He made an immediate impact, scoring twice as the club secured a memorable 3-3 draw.
His third appearance for the club was a cameo that would go down in history. Once again coming on as a second-half substitute against Nottingham Forest, he was on hand to tuck home from Philip Billing's clever free-kick. The goal secured automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Moore added a further goal in the final day victory over Millwall to make it four goals for the club in his opening four games.
The frontman played his part as Wales reached a first World Cup finals for 64 years, Moore coming off the bench in a 1-1 draw with USA and starting group games against Iran and England in Qatar in 2022.
