Moore has been able to make four first team additions in former Everton youngster Dennis Adeniran, QPR loanee Olamide Shodipo, ex-Huddersfield Town man Jaden Brown and Jack Hunt, who has returned to S6 after three years at Bristol City.

He has made no secret of his desire to bring a new goalkeeper to the club ‘if it is possible’ after the departure of long-time stopper Keiren Westwood last month.

Cameron Dawson and Joe Wildsmith have shared goalkeeping duties in preseason so far.
