Bournemouth boss O'Neil delighted for Moore: From 14th tier to World Cup in 5 years

Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil is delighted for Keiffer Moore over his World Cup call with Wales.

Moore was crucial for last night's 1-1 draw with USA.

Playing non-league football as recently as 2017, 30-year-old Moore has risen from the 14th tier of English football to the top-flight.

O'Neil told the Daily Echo: “It is a remarkable story.

“He's been excellent. Another one that we've done loads of work with.

“He's worked his socks off in training, he's managed to get himself into a good place, really pleased with him.

“I mean, I never had the privilege, wasn't good enough to go to a World Cup. I'm delighted that some of our boys are.

“It must be an amazing experience."
