Bangor 1876 manager Michael Johnston has expressed delight at completing the signing:

“It’s great to welcome Dale to 1876,” he said. “He’s a player I have played with before and I know he will be a huge asset to us. He will offer something different going forward and I’m looking forward to working with him as a manager and a coach now.”

Galeotti returns to 1876 following a spell at Llangefni in tier 3. The talented attacker initially joined Bangor from Conwy in August 2021 before departing for Cefni earlier this season.

He is one of a group of players to have scored goals for 1876 in three different divisions, having found the net in tiers 4, 3 and 2. as well as in several cup competitions.

He then played senior football with Glantraeth, Llangefni and Holyhead Hotspur before joining Conwy Borough.

The striker has also played for Bangor University’s men’s football team and been selected for the Welsh Universities men’s football squad.

Johnston added: “It’s great to welcome Harry back to the club. It was a shame to see Harry move on but I knew he wanted game time. He’s a player who can make a huge impact on a game and on his day can be unplayable. It will be great to see him back at 1876.”
