And he added on Instagram: “Delighted to announced that I’ve joined FC Kaysar. Excited for what’s to come.”

The Kazakhstan Premier League side finished last season in 11th position, six points clear of relegated Turan in 14th.

Clubs in Kazakhstan are restricted to a maximum of 13 foreign players which, most teams use readily.

However, Kaysar didn’t have one last year but have now added Moses to the arrivals of Thomas Jones from Chile, Serbian midfielder Nikola Cuckic, and Slovakian goalkeeper Adam Kovac.

They play at the Gani Muratbayev Stadium which has a modest capacity of 7,000 and was built in 1968.

While in Kyzylorda, Moses might want to take in the Baikonur cosmodrome, or the memorial complex of Korkyt Ata, a legendary figure in Kazakhstan.
