Wrexham Duo Face Ipswich in FA Cup Showdown

Nathan Broadhead and Kieffer Moore, who helped Ipswich Town earn promotion last season, now face their former club in the FA Cup fourth round. The Welsh pair played pivotal roles in Ipswich's rise from League One to the Premier League, with Broadhead scoring 13 league goals and Moore adding seven during their time at Portman Road.

Broadhead joined Ipswich from Everton in January 2023, netting eight goals in 19 appearances to help secure promotion. Moore, who previously played for Ipswich in 2017-18, reunited with Broadhead for the latter half of the 2023-24 season. Both players speak fondly of their time at Ipswich but are focused on eliminating their former employers from the competition.

Wrexham, currently sixth in the Championship, aims to reach the FA Cup fifth round for the first time since 1996-97. Having already defeated Premier League Nottingham Forest in this year's tournament, Phil Parkinson's side enters the match with confidence. The teams will meet again just eight days later in league play, adding extra spice to this FA Cup encounter.
