Victor Moses marks 11th career club with FC Kaysar move

Former Super Eagles winger Victor Moses has joined FC Kaysar of Kazakhstan, marking the 11th club of his professional career and extending his playing journey at the age of 35.

The Premier League winner, who lifted the title with Chelsea in 2017, completed the move as a free agent several months after leaving English side Luton Town.

New chapter after Luton exit

Moses spent last season in the EFL Championship with Luton Town but was unable to help the club avoid relegation to League One. He was released at the end of the campaign and remained without a club for several months.

Despite limited game time in the latter part of the season, sources close to the player had earlier indicated that retirement was not under consideration.

Speaking to Africafoot before his departure from Luton, a source said Moses was determined to continue his career and “will not retire”.

That position has now been confirmed by his move to Central Asia.

Kaysar confirm signing

FC Kaysar announced the signing on social media, describing Moses as an experienced addition ahead of the new Kazakhstan Premier League season.

“The football club Kaysar officially announces the signing of an experienced midfielder Victor Moses,” the club said. “His joining the team is a clear proof of the team’s goals for the upcoming season.”

The club added that Moses’ experience would contribute to both team development and the growth of younger players.

In a brief message to supporters at his unveiling, Moses said: “Hi Kaysar fans. It is a pleasure to be here.”

He later posted on Instagram: “Delighted to announce that I’ve joined FC Kaysar. Excited for what’s to come.”

Career and club context

Moses has previously featured for Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham United, Inter Milan and several other clubs across England and Europe.

At international level, he represented Nigeria and was part of the Super Eagles squad that won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

FC Kaysar finished 11th in the Kazakhstan Premier League last season, six points above the relegation zone.

The club did not register any foreign players in the previous campaign but have now added Moses alongside several other overseas signings.

The team plays its home matches at the 7,000-capacity Gani Muratbayev Stadium in Kyzylorda.
