NINE LATEST NORTH WALES FOOTBALL SIGNINGS

Luke Appleby (CPD Llansannan to Llandyrnog United)

One of the best strikers around at Tier 4 and 5 level has joined North Wales Coast East Division One side Llandyrnog after two prolific seasons at CPD Llansannan.
Appleby, 33, joined Sannan in August 2023 and went on to score 44 goals in 41 games for the North Wales Coast East Premier club.
Previously, he had a great stint with Llannefydd, where he notched 29 goals in 55 matches across all competitions.
He has also had past spells in Tier 3 with Corwen and at Ruthin Town.
Scored on his debut this month for a Llandyrnog outfit which looks well set to challenge for the Division One title this term.

James Burgess (to Gwalchmai)

Well-travelled striker comes out of retirement aged 40 to help his former club Gwalchmai in their hour of need.
Gwalch have lost numerous players to other clubs over the summer, especially in the striking department, so getting Burgess back on board is a real boost.
He last played for Llannerchymedd in 2023-24.
Previous clubs include Glantraeth, Amlwch Town, Bodedern, Penmaenmawr Phoenix, Menai Bridge and Cemaes Bay, as well as Gwalchmai and Llannerchymedd.
A powerful front man at his peak with an eye for goal, his best returns in a season include 24 goals for Bodedern in 2013-14 and 19 for Glantraeth/Gwalchmai in 2014-15.

Tomos Cardias-Williams (Llanrwst United to Prestatyn Town)

Midfielder Cardias-Williams (known as Cad) joins from Llanrwst to link up with Prestatyn boss Gareth Thomas again, having previously worked with him at Conwy Borough.
Cad, 30, is a versatile player who can play across midfield or defence and will be a top addition to the squad and its depth.
Gareth Thomas said: “He’s strong, good on the ball and will bring more strength and power to the midfield. He’s been with us since pre-season but due to his job, has been unavailable, but will go straight into the squad this Friday.”
Cad spent the 2024-25 season at Llanrwst, making 29 appearances for the Ardal North West club and prior to that had a long spell at Conwy Borough.

Kyle Robb (to Prestatyn Town)

Attacking player Robb commits to Prestatyn after spending the last two seasons with Bow FC.
Manager Thomas said: “Again Kyle has been with us for a few sessions and played in a reserve game the other week. He’s agreed to join Town ahead of several Tier 2-3 teams.
“Technically very good on the ball and has a good goalscoring record. He will be another good addition to the squad.”
Robb, 28, spent the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons at the now disbanded Bow, scoring 17 goals in 26 total appearances. He was part of the Bow squad which won the 2023-24 North Wales Coast East Division One title and REM Jones Cup double.
Before joining Bow, he had spells at Penmaenmawr Phoenix and the now defunct Llandudno Albion, as well as Glan Conwy and Llandudno Junction.

Alex Swindell (Newtown to CPD Y Rhyl 1879)

There has been a lot of goalkeeper activity at the Hops and Barley Community Stadium this summer, but Rhyl 1879 have landed a real diamond in 24-year-old Swindell.
Last season he made 13 top-flight appearances for a Newtown side which ended up losing its Cymru Premier status after a 33-year stay.
Previously, Swindells was with Mold Aexandra, winning the Welsh Blood Service League Cup National and Northern trophies for the Cymru North club, where he was an ever-present with 30 appearances.
The season before he kept goal for Saltney in Tier 3 Ardal North West.

Dan Atkins (Colwyn Bay to Porthmadog – loan)

Quite a catch for Tier 3 potential title contenders Porthmadog!
Last season, the 23-year-old Atkins scored 16 goals in 24 matches for a Colwyn Bay side crowned Cymru North champions, including the title-winning clincher at Penrhyncoch.
He joined Bay the previous season, when they were in the Cymru Premier, unfortunately losing their top-flight status at the end of the campaign.
In 2022-23, Atkins was named Cymru North Young Player of the Season after netting 22 goals in 28 appearances for Prestatyn Town under Chris Jones, now Porthmadog boss.
Atkins, who can play on the wings or as a striker, also had past experience with English North West club AFC Knowsley, before moving into Welsh football.

Gruff John Williams (Caernarfon Town to Porthmadog – loan)

Quality defender Williams is back with Port, where he first played in the 2012/13 season.
The 31-year-old returns to the Traeth club in a loan deal from Caernarfon Town of the Cymru Premier.
He will bring versatility and a wealth of experience to Ardal North West Port’s defence and midfield.
Williams first joined Port from Llanrug United where his team-mates at the time included Richard Harvey, Ryan Davies, Rhys Roberts and Mike Foster.
The defender eventually moved on in 2019 to join Sean Eardley’s Caernarfon squad,
There he became an important member of the Oval club’s defence and last season was part of the Cofis exciting venture into Europe. He has made 138 Cymru Premier League appearances for the Canaries.
Williams, who plays anywhere along the back four, will add further strength to an already solid Port defence.

Harry Lockley (NFA to Denbigh Town)

Defender Harry Lockley recently returned to Cymru North club Denbigh Town from NFA.
The 23-year-old comes back to Central Park for a second spell having made 41 appearances for the club between 2022 and 2024, which included picking up a league and cup double in the Lock Stock Ardal North-West.
An English transplant international, Lockley also links up with twin brother Ben having spent just shy of 12-months with NFA in the Ardal North-West.
“I’m delighted to be back home,” said Lockley.
“I’ve had so many special memories at Denbigh and having the chance to come back, it was a really easy decision.”
Lockley began his career with Rhyl before a spell with Flint Town United. Following his time in Flintshire, he moved on to Conwy Borough and, after a season on the coast, joined Denbigh.
In his first campaign, he won the league and cup double at Central Park in a season cut short due to health issues. In his second campaign he played a handful of games before requiring a successful kidney transplant.
In October 2024, he joined NFA where he featured 24 times, scoring three goals for the Rhyl-based outfit.

Sion Davies (to Llandyrnog United)

Versatile player who is back at Llandyrnog after a few years away gaining experience with other clubs.
The 34-year-old last played in the 2023-24 season for CPD Llansannan.
Prior to that he had spells with Ruthin Town Reserves, Denbigh Town Reserves, CPD Gronant and CPD Llannefydd.
Llandyrnog manager Sion Morris said: “Big welcome back to Sion Davies who has signed back at Dyrny after a few years away.
“Sion’s a very versatile player across the attack or midfield. His quality and work rate is on another level and that was shown against Prestatyn Sports over the weekend.”
