Kieffer became Town's fourth signing of the January transfer window when joining on loan from AFC Bournemouth on deadline day.

He returns to Portman Road following a spell with Town between 2017 and 2018, following which he has been a regular scorer at Championship level, has played and scored in the Premier League and has won 39 international caps for Wales. 

Kieffer began his career in non-league, spending time in the Torquay youth system before playing senior football for Truro City, Dorchester, Yeovil, Norwegian club Viking Stavanger and then Forest Green Rovers in the National League in 2016. 

From there, he moved to Town in January 2017, featuring 11 times before moving to Rotherham on loan and then departing permanently for Championship side Barnsley in 2018. 

He remained in the second tier with Wigan and then Cardiff, before then scoring four vital goals to help Bournemouth win promotion to the top-flight at the end of the 2021/22 campaign. 

The striker, who scored on his first Premier League appearance against Aston Villa in August 2022, made his Wales debut in October 2019 and has scored 12 goals in 39 appearances, helping The Dragons qualify for EURO 2020 and the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar before being called up for both tournaments.
