Please tell us which clubs you have played for?

I’ve only played for Cpd Llannefydd

How do you feel the current season is going for Llannefydd?

We’re having a good season up to now, had a good run in the Welsh Cup and can still challenge for the league!

What do you think this Llannefydd team is capable of achieving?

Elgan lines up with CPD Llannefydd

Hopefully win the league this season!

What do you think of the standard of Welsh Alliance Division Two (where Llannefydd compete)?

It’s a competitive league this season, not much difference between most teams and anyone can beat anyone.

What honours have you won in the game?

Clwyd League twice and 5 different cup finals with Llannefydd I think

Best game ever played in?

When we beat our local rivals Llansannan 4-0 in a cup final at Prestatyn (Premier Cup Final 2016-17).

Probably Gwion Owen (Ruthin) or Owain Roberts (Denbigh)

The skipper in action

Strengths and weaknesses to your game?

I can play in a few positions. And my weakness is my build

I didn’t really score many goals before I started taking penalties last season, so I’d say a last-minute penalty against Llanrwst to make it 1-0 in the Welsh Cup.


Best country visited?

America (New York)
