First transfer trail of 2026!
Let’s check out some of the early transfers of 2026.

One of the top young strikers in North Wales football has opted to move up a level and sign for a Tier 2 club.
Wales Colleges international Morris, 17, has netted 40 goals in 50 appearances for Ardal North East club Dolgellau AA over the past two seasons.
Morris previously made his mark as a prolific marksman with Caernarfon Town U14-U16 sides, as well as Bro Hedd Wyn Colts Junior U15s. He scored 102 goals in total for teams from under-14 to U16 level.

Defender Dan Davies joins Denbigh Town from Cymru Premier side Flint.
The 21-year-old can play in a variety of roles as a left-sided defender and this season has featured 11 times in the JD Cymru Premier for the Silkmen.
“I’m really pleased to make the move, and look forward to getting going with the club,” said Davies.
“The facilities here are as good as anywhere you’ll see in North Wales, and Dewi has an emphasis on trusting young players so I want to come here and make a difference.
“My ambitions match the club’s and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and taking the club to where it wants to be.”
Manager Dewi Llion added “Dan has a great pedigree and should fit in well with us.
“He spent a few years as a professional and has a lot of experience in the Welsh system with Flint and Colwyn Bay.
“Our hope now is for him to get time on the pitch and grow further with us.”
Davies began his career with Wrexham, where he signed his first contract in 2021, penning a three-year agreement.
He went on to make his debut in an EFL Trophy tie with Port Vale in November 2023 before heading out on loan to Colwyn Bay.
In the summer of 2024 he departed Wrexham and signed for Flint, but picked up a serious injury before making his competitive debut for the Silkmen. He eventually returned to the pitch for a small cameo in April 2025 to mark his debut.
After a full pre-season, he featured 13 times in all competitions for Flint so far this campaign, but now departs for Central Park.
