Nathan Jones: We had Kieffer Moore on trial at Charlton Athletic - his battle with Lloyd Jones will be a key one

Nathan Jones is looking forward to the battle between Lloyd Jones and Kieffer Moore tomorrow - and has revealed he ran the rule over the Wrexham striker when he first started on the coaching ladder at Charlton Athletic.

Jones was in charge of the Addicks U21 side and Moore, then 20, had scored 20 goals in National League South for Dorchester United.

Moore trained with Charlton in May 2013.

The big frontman signed for Wrexham in the summer for an undisclosed fee from Sheffield United.

Moore, 33, has been capped 52 times by Wales and scored nine times in 16 matches in all competitions this season, including a hat-trick against Coventry City in his last appearance at Stok Cae Ras.

Charlton vice-captain Jones has won 101 aerial duels in the Championship with only Moore able to better that, moving back into pole position with 105 after Wrexham’s 0-0 draw at Portsmouth on Wednesday evening.
