After two seasons with Trearddur Bay, North Wales football great Sion Edwards has committed to Conwy Borough for the 2026-27 campaign.

The 38-year-old, a three-time Welsh Cup winner and Welsh Premier League champion, will join the Tier 4 North Wales Coast East League Premier Division club as a player-coach.

Edwards signed for Trearddur Bay at the start of 2024-25, making 53 appearances for the Ardal North West club.

The flying winger will best be remembered for his major role in the Bangor City ‘Nevillution’, the amazing period between 2007-11 when led by manager Neville Powell, the Citizens won three Welsh Cups in succession, lifted the Welsh Premier title and experienced success in Europe.

Bangor lad Sion was a product of the renowned Bangor-area Penrhosgarnedd youth system before gaining reserve team experience at Wrexham.

Released from the Racecourse in 2006, he had a spell at Cemaes Bay before joining Bangor City that same year.

Edwards went on to become a Citizens legend, making 231 Welsh Premier starts (plus 92 substitute appearances) and netting 58 goals for the club. Sion also made 13 appearances in Europe for the all-blues.

The left-sided specialist joined Rhyl on loan in 2016-17 before returning to Bangor City in summer 2017.

Sion was unable to command a regular place in the ensuing Welsh Premier campaign and left the club in November 2017 to join Porthmadog.

After two seasons at Y Traeth he moved to Colwyn Bay for the 2019-20 campaign. He made 34 appearances for the Seagulls between August 2019 and October 2021, scoring four goals.

Edwards switched to Bangor 1876 in November 2021, netting on his debut in a 10-0 victory over Amlwch Town.

He played in 44 matches for 1876, notching 11 goals and playing in the 2022-23 Ardal North play-off final against Cefn Albion, which the Citizens won 4-2 in extra time to seal promotion to the Cymru North.

Then came a two-season stint with Trearddur Bay, where his last appearance was in a 5-1 defeat at Bethesda Athletic on April 11, 2026.
