In one of the surprise moves of the January 2017 transfer window so far, former Torquay United loanee Kieffer Moore has joined Ipswich Town from Forest Green Rovers.
Torbay-born Moore arrived at Plainmoor on loan in November from Rovers and netted on his debut against Wrexham before memorably scoring a hat-trick against Solihull Moors as he ended his loan spell with five goals in only four appearances.
He returned to the New Lawn and scored a late equaliser for Rovers against Dover Athletic on December 19th, 2016 before appearing twice for Forest Green against his former loan club over the Christmas period.
There had also been talk of him returning to Plainmoor following Nathan Blissett's transfer to Plymouth Argyle, but now his career has taken a different turn.
His form during his loan stint with the Gulls sufficiently impressed Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy to part with £50,000 for his services but it is worth remembering that Moore has previous experience of playing in the Championship.
In the 2013-14 season, he scored five times in 24 appearances for Yeovil Town in all competitions during their one and only season in the second tier of English football before they made an immediate return to League One.
That in itself is a reasonable return for a striker who had been plucked from then Conference South side Dorchester Town, but since then as well as appearing for Forest Green and the Gulls he has also had a spell playing in Norway.
This latest move promises to be another interesting chapter in a career that has seen him travel far and wide.
