Two more ex-Caernarfon Town stalwarts return to the club

Caernarfon Town have re-signed two of the most well-known players from their past.

Goalkeeper Elena Julio and defender Sioned Bohana have both joined recent returnee Katie Louise Bowe back at The Oval.

Bohana, 36, and Julio, 34, have both been at CPD Pwllheli in recent seasons, but have now decided to rejoin the Canaries.

The experienced Bohana signed for Pwllheli in 2020, along with Julio and Bowe.

She has spent the majority of her football career with Caernarfon, having started playing the game in her years at Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen.

She was a member of Caernarfon’s 2016-17 North Wales Women’s League title-winning side, scoring a hat-trick in one game, and represented the Cofis on numerous occasions in the Welsh Premier.

The hard-tackling defender was with Llandudno in 2019-20, performing brilliantly at the back before the team resigned from the Welsh Premier Women’s League in December 2019.

She then moved on to Mountain Rangers, where again she excelled.

Bohana has been mainly a Pwllheli player since 2021-22, but did have a short spell back at Caernarfon in 2022-23 and was very briefly at CPDM Bangor last season.

She made 45 appearances in total for Pwllheli, scoring five goals.

An outstanding goalkeeper and more than capable outfield player, Elena Julio began her football career playing for Caernarfon-based Cae Glyn United Under-9 boys.

She went on to feature in goal for several seasons at Caernarfon Town, helping the team win the North Wales League title in 2016-17.

Elena had a spell at Llandudno before signing for newly-formed Mountain Rangers in 2018, where she was a major influence for two seasons before the team folded in 2020.

She has won a host of trophies in her career.

Caernarfon Town will play in the Tier 3 North Wales Coast Women’s League this season.
