JD CYMRU NORTH NOMINATIONS
PLAYER OF THE SEASON
Sam Hart – Colwyn Bay
The captain has been a vital part of Colwyn Bay’s success this season and proved to be a natural leader in taking the side back to the JD Cymru Premier just one season after their relegation from the top-flight. In 25 league games, Hart helped the Seagulls keep 13 clean sheets and registered 10 assists.
George Peers – Airbus UK Broughton
The 24-year old scored an impressive 21 goals in 26 games in the JD Cymru North this season as Airbus UK Broughton finished as runners-up. Peers scored three hat-tricks during the course of the league campaign, including a superb four-goal haul in the 8-3 win over last season’s champions Holywell Town back in October.
Danny Warren – Airbus UK Broughton
The Golden Boot winner for the JD Cymru North, Danny Warren enjoyed an excellent debut season at Airbus after signing from Mold Alexandra last summer. The 30-year-old scored 24 goals in 27 league games and also contributed 11 assists as the Wingmakers narrowly missed out on the league title.
MANAGER OF THE SEASON
Mark Allen – Airbus UK Broughton
Despite missing out on the league title, Airbus UK Broughton enjoyed an incredible JD Cymru North campaign, finishing just three points behind champions Colwyn Bay, but a massive 21 points ahead of third-place Holywell Town. Mark Allen’s team scored 102 goals in the process and will have their sights firmly set on promotion next year. Allen has led Airbus to THREE cup successes, lifting the Welsh Blood Service League Cup northern and national trophies, plus the North East Wales FA Challenge Cup.
Jordan Hadaway – Llandudno
Llandudno were languishing towards the bottom of the table in the early months of the campaign, but turned their season around in style to claim an impressive fourth-place finish. A run of seven wins from eight games in December and January was particularly impressive, as Jordan Hadaway’s stock continues to rise at just 23 years old.
Michael Wilde – Colwyn Bay
A 4-0 home defeat to Bangor 1876 on the opening day of the season may have led Michael Wilde to question if he was cut out for management, but his Colwyn Bay side were not beaten in the league after that as they stormed to the league title with 81 points to secure an immediate return to the JD Cymru Premier.
YOUNG PLAYER OF THE SEASON
Kaiden Cooke – Airbus UK Broughton
The teenager scored seven goals in 28 JD Cymru North games for Airbus UK Broughton during the season and established himself as an important part of Mark Allen’s side. Still only 18, Cooke will no doubt have a key role to play in their title challenge next season.
Owen Davies – Denbigh Town
The 20-year old scored an impressive 16 goals in 30 JD Cymru North matches this season, including six in the final nine games of the campaign. Davies also contributed seven assists and played an important part in Denbigh Town being one of the top scoring teams in the division, as well as helping them reach the Welsh Cup quarter-finals for the first tume in the club’s history.
Sol Forde – Colwyn Bay
Despite still being just 19 years old, Sol Forde played a vital role in Colwyn Bay’s title-winning season as he was part of a defence which kept 13 clean sheets and he also scored five goals himself. Forde will now look to make a similar impression in the JD Cymru Premier next season following the Seagulls’ return to the top-flight.
JD CYMRU PREMIER LEAGUE NOMINATIONS
PLAYER OF THE SEASON
Rhys Hughes – Connah’s Quay Nomads
The former Cymru U21 international joined the Nomads from Tranmere Rovers in the summer and featured in every league fixture, scoring 15 goals in the process. It has been an impressive debut season for the 23-year old in the domestic top-flight, with his side also reaching the JD Welsh Cup Final.
Louis Lloyd – Caernarfon Town
The 21-year old has been the shining light for Caernarfon Town as they look to qualify for Europe for the second consecutive season. Lloyd scored five goals in the final four games of the regular season to share the golden boot with a tally of 16, before netting another four goals in the 5-2 Play-Off quarter-final victory over Barry Town United.
Dan Williams – The New Saints
Another former Cymru U21 international, Dan Williams has been the heartbeat of The New Saints’ title-winning team. Captain Danny Redmond was the only outfield player to clock more league minutes than Williams, who quietly but efficiently goes about his business in the middle of the park.
YOUNG PLAYER OF THE SEASON
Louis Lloyd – Caernarfon Town
The fact that Louis Lloyd is also a nominee for the Player of the Year award shows just how influential his goal contributions for Caernarfon Town have been this season despite being just 21 years old. The forward players without fear and has a confidence and belief in his ability that has caused problems for defences across the JD Cymru Premier all season.
James Crole – Penybont
After his exit from Cardiff City last summer, Crole scored twice on his Penybont debut and finished the season with 16 goals to share the golden boot – thanks to a red hot streak of nine in his final seven matches.
Gabe Kircough – Penybont
Naturally a midfielder, Gabe Kircough has been forced to cover in defence for Penybont for the majority of this season due to injuries and excelled. The Pontardawe Town academy product only turned 21 years old in March but plays with a maturity above his years.
