Wrexham duo Nathan Broadhead (left) and Kieffer Moore played together at Ipswich Town during the 2023-24 season Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead played key roles in Ipswich Town's rise up the football pyramid. But the Welsh duo are now plotting the Tractor Boys' downfall as they bid to fire Wrexham into the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1996-97 by beating their former employers. "I can't wait to see many close friends of mine that I spent two-and-a-half years with, I'm looking forward to seeing them, and hopefully we can beat them, " Broadhead told BBC Radio Wales Sport. While also showing sentiment towards those at Portman Road, forward Moore was equally ruthless. "I love playing against my old sides and I love scoring against them too, " he told BBC Match of the Day Wales. Wrexham v Ipswich Town, Stok Cae Ras FA Cup fourth round Friday, 13 February at 19: 45 GMT Latest Wrexham news, analysis and fan views Moore targeting Wrexham and Wales double After joining Ipswich from Everton in January 2023, Broadhead netted eight goals in 19 league appearances to help fire the Tractor Boys to promotion from League One. He scored 13 league goals in the 2023-24 campaign as Kieran Mc Kenna's side gained promotion into the Premier League, ending the club's 22-year absence from the top-flight. "They were in League One at the time and my ambition was to play in the Premier League with that club, and we did it, " said Broadhead. "It was really good for me and my career so I'm just thankful for that. "We had the same team, near enough, from League One and everyone knew how each other played. It was a crazy few years, some of the best of my career to be fair. " Moore - who was also with Ipswich in 2017-18 - spent the latter half of the 2023-24 season alongside Broadhead at Portman Road, scoring seven goals as they clinched promotion to the top-flight. "I can only speak highly about that club. Everything around that club is amazing, " Moore said of Ipswich. "I have very fond memories of the place, of course. Getting promoted to the Premier League was incredible. I'll look forward to seeing some of the guys.

Phil Parkinson's men sit sixth in the Championship, and having already beaten Premier League Nottingham Forest in this year's FA Cup, and Broadhead is hoping for more nights to remember in north Wales. "It (Forest win) was some feeling. It just shows where we're at as a team, competing with teams and players like that, " he explained. Just eight days after their cup tussle, Wrexham and Ipswich meet again in the Championship, so there will be ample opportunity for Broadhead and Moore to become reacquainted with their former team-mates. But the bigger picture always circles back to the main goal. A fourth consecutive Wrexham promotion. "We're in a good position at the moment but there's a long way to go. The last 15 games are massive, " said Broadhead.
