Having represented Hawarden Rangers at under-16 level, Farley then became part of a highly successful Nomads U18 side over three seasons.

“Ben is a versatile player who can operate in a number of positions and brings real creativity to the team, with outstanding technical ability and tactical understanding.
“He’s a player we identified in the summer, and we are delighted to finally welcome him to the club.”

Town manager Gary McConnell said: “Dylan is a forward player who can play either side in a front three or as a number 10
“We are thrilled to announce the signing of Dylan from St Asaph. He caught our eye early in the season with his pace and tenacity, and once we learned he had become available, we were quick to make our move.
“Dylan is a young and talented player who demonstrates superb technical ability. His previous clubs include Connah’s Quay Nomads, Llay Welfare, and St Asaph.
“We are really looking forward to working with Dylan and welcoming him to the club.”

KYLE LALLY (CPD Blue Bridge to Llandyrnog United)

Top scorer for Blue Bridge this season with 10 goals, Lally now makes the move to North Wales Coast East Division One title contenders Llandyrnog.

Prior to that played for Rhyl Dragons,
Over the past four seasons, Lally has notched 53 goals in 93 games in all competitions – that’s the sort of form which made him a big target for Llandyrnog manager Sion Morris.
Morris said: “Really pleased to get Kyle on board!
“He’s someone who’s certainly going to strengthen us going forward for the second half of the season.
“We felt like we needed another attacker to add to Alfie and Luke’s goals and with Kyle already on 10 league goals this season, he was the obvious choice especially after seeing how much of a handful he was against us earlier on in the season.”
