SIGNINGS SPECIAL – FLINT MOUNTAIN

Alfie Cunningham, Jack Burman, Owen Stockdale, Paul Kyffin, Lewis Smith, Luca Hogan

Flint Mountain Football Club can confirm the addition of six players ahead of the closing stages of the season.
The JD Cymru North club has moved quickly to strengthen the squad with the signing of Alfie Cunningham, Jack Burman and Owen Stockdale, alongside Paul Kyffin, Lewis Smith and Luca Hogan, as preparations continue for the run-in.
These additions come during a period of transition off the pitch, following the recent departure of the club’s general manager and the appointment of a new club secretary, as they look to build momentum on and off the field.
Among the new arrivals, Kyffin joins as a midfielder after returning from America. He brings valuable experience from his time at Lower Breck and Widnes and is expected to add quality and composure in the middle of the park.
Stockdale comes on board with pedigree, having previously featured for Airbus and spent time within the Chester academy system, adding further depth to the squad.
Smith strengthens the defensive options and also offers versatility in the midfield, joining the club after his time at AFC Knowsley.
Cunningham, Burman, who like Kyffin returns from playing Stateside and previously represented Connah’s Quay Nomads, and Hogan, whose last club was Airbus, completes the list of signings.
Hogan began life at Mountain in style by scoring rhe winner in a 1-0 win over Denbigh Town on Friday night.
