"No way, I thought he was retired?"

Moses was handed the number 7 jersey by the Kenilworth Road inhabitants. The length of his contract was not disclosed in the official statement published by the club.

He represented England at youth levels and switched allegiance to Nigeria in 2011. He was part of the AFCON 2013 winning squad.

He announced his international retirement after the 2018 FIFA World Cup after winning 38 caps. His family was bullied online.
