Michael Wilde becomes just fourth player to hit 200 Cymru Premier goals

Michael Wilde became just the fourth member of the Cymru Premier’s 200-goals club when he netted for Connah’s Quay Nomads in Saturday’s 2-0 win at home to Haverfordwest County.

The 37-year-old made it 12 league goals for the season with a close range finish which sealed victory for champions Nomads, who are now six points clear at the summit.

Wilde has won the Cymru Premier Golden Boot once – back in 2012/13 when he pocketed 25 goals for The New Saints.

He has played for just two top flight clubs – TNS (153 goals) and Nomads (47).
