Chris Mepham believes his teammate for club and country, Kieffer Moore, is finally getting his dues for his technical ability, rather than just his physical qualities. Moore has received a lot of plaudits for utilising his frame and physique to the best of his abilities, but his teammate Mepham believes other aspects of his game go under the radar. Speaking about Moore on the club’s official podcast,
Chris mepham said: “I think he is quite deceiving. People almost think, because he’s six-foot five, that all he can do is bully people, good in the air. But I think he is very, very good technically as well. People are starting to notice that. It’s something that he’s added to his game well. He can do both sides of it really – when the ball is going into him, he can deal with it, and he can be that brute that gets his head on things, and bring other players into the game.”
Asked what Moore was like off the pitch,
Chris Mepham shared: “I wouldn’t say he’s that mysterious a man – what you see is what you get. To be fair, his dress sense, I don’t mind. I’m not a massive lover, but I also don’t hate it.”
