“I miss football,” he told the club’s official YouTube channel. “So as soon as the season ends I’m already looking forward to the next one - I start planning what I’m going to do in the next season and getting as fit as I can - I think that’s the same for most of the boys as well.

“This is our job, it’s what we do, so we couldn’t wait to get back. It’s boring being off for so long.”

And it’s not just all about running and fitness under Moore, with the 22-year-old giving an idea of what the first day of camp entailed…

He said, “In the morning it was some tests, running. In the afternoon we got the balls out - which is a lot sooner than I thought we would comp where I’ve been before where we don’t get them out for a week or two.

“So it’s been a lot better, the gaffer has told us what the plan is going forward, and the way we want to play. I’ve enjoyed the football and getting back together with the boys.”

Wednesday do look to be at full strength in terms of fitness on the back of what was a difficult 2020/21, with Dominic Iorfa and Massimo Luongo seemingly raring to go as the new season approaches.

On top of their return, youngsters such as Liam Waldock, Korede Adedoyin and Josh Dawodu are also part of the first team setup out west, and will be eager to show Moore what they’re all about.
