Bala Town have unveiled goalkeeper Alex Ramsay as their second signing of the summer transfer window.

Welshman Alex has made the switch from Caernarfon Town after spending four seasons at The Oval.

The 26-year-old shot stopper came through The New Saints’ youth system before spells at Caersws, Rhyl and Llanelli.

Keeping eight clean sheets for the Canaries last season, Alex was called up to the Wales C squad and has previously appeared for Wales Under 18’s at Semi Pro level. He is also an international at Futsal.

Ramsay currently works for Shrewsbury Town as a Youth Development Phase Coach and has his UEFA A Licence.

Bala manager Colin Caton said: “I’ve been an admirer of Alex for quite a number of years now, his kicking and talking at the back is going to add a lot to us.

“I feel that he needs to kick on now, Bala’s going to be a challenge for him and he has to stake the claim for the number one jersey. He will be a great addition to us, the information he gives to the back four is second to none.

“Socially too, I’ve spoken to Alex a lot when I’ve been watching Shrewsbury play and he’s another one that fits the category of a top lad who’s going to join our social side of things.

“What we look for in lads, Alex ticks all the boxes plus his ability as a goalkeeper, he’s working hard this summer now to get himself fit.

“He’s been signed on now for a long time for us and we’ve just been waiting to announce it.
