Prolific goalscorer who has netted 67 goals in 78 appearances over the past four seasons for Menai Bridge Tigers and will now test himself in tier 2 with newly-promoted Hotspur.
Was unstoppable in 2023-24, when he banged in 40 goals in 32 games across all competitions for Tigers, finishing third highest scorer in the tier 4 North Wales Coast League Premier with 30 from 24 matches, only Jamie McDaid and Asa Thomas above him.
Bridge finished runners-up and were promoted to tier 3 Ardal North West last season. Although relegated, Graves was again their top-scorer with 12 league goals.
Despite his net-finding record, Graves joins Hotspur as a full-back, citing it as his preferred position, however his versatility will no doubt be useful in an attacking sense during the campaign ahead.
Nomads have made 19-year-old midfielder Callum West their ninth pre-season signing of 2025-26.
He joins Jason Oswell, Zeli Ismael, Ben Kershaw, Dan Cowan, Marco Fregapane, Kit Margetson, Harry Franklin and Abdi Sharif as the new faces at the Cymru Premier club so far this summer.
West has spent much of his development years at high level academies, including Burnley and Barnsley having originally started out at Macclesfield.
He has also made a number of senior appearances for both Hyde United and Hebburn Town during a couple of loan spells.
Portuguese personal trainer living in Bangor signs for tier 5 club Bethesda Rovers after previous spells with Arriva and Bangor City Reserves.
Greeting their new signing, Bethesda Rovers said: “Luis is a player we’ve been after for a long time. In his last outing playing in tier 5 in the 2022/23 season he scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in just 13 games in all competitions.
“He’s most comfortable as an attacking midfielder or striker but is versatile and can play in a few other positions which will be a huge help for us. We’re thrilled to finally have him sign for us and look forward to seeing what he can deliver for the club.”
Tough-tackling midfielder who spent the last three seasons with Trearddur Bay where he won back-to-back league titles – the tier 5 North Wales Coast West Division One in 2022-23 and T4 Premier Division in 2023-24.
Prior to that, he was with Holyhead Hotspur.
The 22-year-old now joins tier 4 Boded, where he has all the attributes to become an outstanding signing.
A Boded spokesman said: “Coby is a tough-tackling, hard-working midfielder who is very good on the ball, getting the ball from the defence and linking play with the attackers with ease.
“Coby has already shown the coaching team his class in training and friendlies so far this pre-season and we can’t wait to see him play again and again in the green and white of Boded.”
Defender Ellis returns to Cae Nant where he had a short spell in the 2023-24 season.
Started out with Denbigh Town Reserves, moved to CPD Henllan, stayed very briefly with CPD Llansannan then switched to Dyrny before spending the last campaign back with Henllan.
Llandyrnog manager Sion Morris said: “Really happy to announce that Zak will be returning to the club. In Zak’s previous spell he’d be the first to admit he suffered with a lack of confidence and pre-season but we always knew there was a player there.
“Over the last few weeks we’ve seen a refreshed Zak who’s full of confidence and leading the backline.
“I’m really keen with how he’s been performing so far and is definitely a player to keep an eye on.”
Highly-rated defender Harry Dean joins the Lakesiders from Wrexham AFC ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The talented 19-year-old arrives at Maes Tegid from the Racecourse, where he has been a standout performer in their youth and reserve setups — earning recognition as a promising prospect for the future having been with the club since the age of eight.
Known for his composure on the ball, intelligent movement, and excellent passing range, Dean will now look to take the next step in his development with Bala Town. His arrival adds youthful energy, technical quality and real young potential to Steve Fisher’s evolving squad.
Egyptian forward returns to Bala where he spent part of last season, scoring six goals in 22 appearances before leaving Maes Tegid in January.
The skilful forward made an immediate impact during his first stint at Bala, offering creativity, goals, and a spark in the final third. His return adds further strength and variety to Steve Fisher’s attacking options ahead of a big campaign for the club.
Young, energetic full-back who joined Rovers in pre-season.
A Rovers spokesman said: “He has been very impressive in training so far. We’re excited to see what he can offer us this season.”
Ex-Glantraeth, CPD Gaerwen and CPD Cefni man Jones leaves island football for now to give Bethesda a go.
Joint manager Tristan Walker said: “Iwan came to us in pre-season and has been very impressive so far. When we looked at what we thought we were lacking in the squad it was clear we were lacking some experienced players and Iwan brings plenty of experience.
“He’s an old school midfielder which is something we felt we really needed, he gets stuck into absolutely everything, he’s energetic and can pick out a pass easily in midfield. He’s another player with years of experience in tier 4 so he’ll be a very valuable player for us.”
Thomas was recently unveiled as Amateurs’ first new signing ahead of the new season.
He switches over from Llandudno FC after turning down some other tier 4 offers.
An Amateurs spokesman said: “Morgan is a player we have wanted for a number of years and we are delighted to finally have him agree to join us. Morgs has bags of energy, excellent in and out of possession and adds more quality to our squad.
“Morgan is a player that plays with passion, he’s a leader even at his young age and we have seen that in the training sessions he has attended so far. He lifted the intensity and sets high standards for himself and his team mates.
“We feel that it’s a perfect fit for Morgan and for us as a club to add a player of Morgan’s quality.”
Morgan said: “Having only really played 19s or reserve football I wanted to step into senior football and already knowing all the lads here I think that it’s a good fit for me.
“I’ve been to a few pre-season sessions now and it’s been good and everybody seems up for it and working hard for the upcoming season. So I’m happy to be here and help the team push on this season.”
Vastly-experienced defender, aged 32, joins his elder brother Mel at Millbank.
Dan has spent the past three seasons with Trearddur Bay, winning tier 4 and 5 league titles with the Beach Boys for whom he made 76 first team appearances.
Was previously for many years with Holyhead Hotspur, where he was part of the 2019-20 Welsh Alliance League Division One title-winning side, then represented the club in the T2 Cymru North.
Also effective in midfield, Dan has also played in the past for Caergybi as well as Holyhead Town.
He has also represented Ynys Môn at the International Island Games.
Has spent the past three seasons in tier 4 representing Glantraeth and CPD Aberffraw, making a combined 75 appearances.
Also represented Llangefni Town, mainly their reserve side.
No doubt his experience will help tier 5 Bethesda Rovers in the season ahead.
Joint manager Mike Williams said: “Cai is another player who will add some quality and experience to the back line.
“He’s been playing tier 4 the last 3 seasons so he will give us something different in terms of experience which we might have lacked previously. He’s a player who wears his heart on his sleeve and definitely gives us more options defensively for the new season.”
A product of the Llandudno FC Academy and development side, 19-year-old Leon joined Llanfairfechan Town at the start of 2023-24 and made his first team breakthrough last season, making 37 appearances for the North Wales Coast East Premier Division club.
A central midfielder who combines energy, vision and creativity, he impressed in Sports’ first two pre-season games and recently put pen to paper for the tier 4 side.
Returns to Sports, where he began last season but moved to Llandudno Amateurs in November, making 12 appearances for the team.
Alex has played in Mochdre’s first two pre-season friendlies and after performing well in the heart of midfield, he impressed the new management team who have secured his signature for the coming campaign.
Having spent the past two seasons with Glantraeth, Kirkham now brings his experience of tier 4 to CPD Boded in 2025-26.
A Boded spokesman said: “Iwan is a player the coaching staff have had their eyes on for a while now especially after causing us all sorts of problems away at Glantraeth last season.
“Iwan is a fast, tricky and extremely hard working player who can play full back, wing back or as a winger so his versatility will be a big asset to the team this season.”
