AFC Telford complete signing of ex-Crewe striker Louis Moult

AFC Telford United have completed the signing of experienced striker Louis Moult following his release by Crewe Alexandra.

The Bucks have secured the services of the seasoned forward ahead of the upcoming National League North campaign.

The 34-year-old, who hails from Stoke-on-Trent, was released by League Two side Crewe this summer after scoring two goals in 21 appearances across all competitions last season.

Moult brings a wealth of experience from both English and Scottish football, having represented clubs including Preston North End, Motherwell and Dundee United.

He came through the youth ranks at hometown club Stoke City before making his Premier League debut in 2010.

During his time with the Potters, Moult gained valuable experience on loan at Bradford City, Mansfield Town (twice), Accrington Stanley and Alfreton Town before leaving the club in 2012.

Successful spells with Nuneaton Town and Wrexham earned him a move to Motherwell in 2015, where he scored 50 goals in 98 appearances before joining Preston North End in January 2018.

The striker spent three-and-a-half seasons with Preston in the Championship before moving to Burton Albion.

He later returned to Motherwell on loan before signing for Dundee United, scoring 23 goals in 53 appearances across all competitions.

Moult returned to England with Crewe last season and now drops back into non-league football after agreeing a deal with Telford, where he will hope his experience and goals can boost the Bucks’ in the new campaign.
