Kieffer Moore says he is ready to impact Wrexham's run-in after recovering from a second hamstring injury in just three months.

The striker missed Wrexham's opening four games of 2026 due to injury and was then sidelined for a further four matches prior to the March international break.

Moore made his return to action as a substitute in the Red Dragons' 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Good Friday and started the 5-1 loss to Southampton last time out.

"To get another hamstring injury wasn't great, but I feel really good now," he told BBC Sport Wales.

"I'm ready to really affect the final part of this season and hopefully we get something from it."

Sam Smith has stepped up admirably when Moore - who has netted 13 times across all competitions in his debut season with Wrexham so far - has been unavailable.

Seven of Smith's nine goals this season have come in the second half of the campaign when Moore has been out of action.

"Sam's a great guy, a great striker, he's scored some great goals for us. His movement's really, really good," Moore said of team-mate Smith.

"Having that repertoire where I can play a game, he can play a game, and we can dovetail like that, it's been really good for us."

Phil Parkinson also added to his forward options during the January transfer window by signing Bailey Cadamarteri and Davis Keillor-Dunn while Jay Rodriguez returned from injury after Christmas.

And Moore hopes the fierce competition to lead the line for Wrexham will serve the club well over the remainder of the run-in.

"Competition like that, it breeds success. We're all pushing each other. We're all trying to get the best out of each other," added Moore.

"You can see that day-by-day in training, whenever we do any sort of shooting drills, the competition is always high.

"To have that at our disposal and for these lads to really come on and make a big difference, it's great for us."

Wrexham dropped out of the Championship play-off places as a result of their defeat by Southampton, although they remain in the hunt for a top six place.

Parkinson's men sit seventh in the table, two points adrift of the Saints and four points behind Hull City with five matches left to play.

The Red Dragons' quest to return to the top six begins at Birmingham City on Sunday (12:00 BST).

"It'll be a fun game to play and a big game. In the context of this season and where we are now, it's a big game for us," said Moore.

"We'll be looking to assert ourselves and really show the performance we're capable of and hopefully get the three points.

"They're good on the ball, they'll hurt you in certain areas and they'll try to command and dominate you, especially at St Andrews.
