Wrexham A.F.C. has lost one of its key strikers, as Louis Moult has joined AFC Telford United. Moult, who was the club's top scorer in the 2014-15 season, has signed for the National League North outfit, where he will be reunited with his former manager Kevin Wilkin.
What happened?
Moult, 34, joined Wrexham from Nuneaton on a one-year deal ahead of the 2014-15 campaign. He finished as the Reds' top scorer with 23 goals in 47 appearances, with 16 of those goals coming in the National League. However, he decided to leave north Wales in June 2015 to sign for Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.
Why it matters for Wrexham A.F.C.
Moult's departure is a significant blow to Wrexham A.F.C., who are currently 7th in the Championship with 71 points from 46 games, 24 points behind leaders Coventry. The club has scored 69 goals this season, while conceding 65.
What comes next?
Moult will now join AFC Telford United, where he will be reunited with his former manager Kevin Wilkin, who has been in charge since 2022. Wilkin has praised Moult's ability, saying: "He's looked after himself; he's in good nick for his age, and he'll bring that bit of quality. People will say he's a clever footballer with a good touch and a real eye for goal."
Moult's career so far
Moult has had a successful career, playing for Burton Albion, Motherwell, Dundee United, and Crewe Alexandra, among others. He helped Dundee United clinch the 2023/24 Scottish Championship and promotion to the SPL.
AFC Telford United's new signing
