Llanberis’ new manager is a very familiar name at the club

There could be no more suitable person to take over the manager’s role at CPD Llanberis than club stalwart Nidian Caffo Huws.

The 37-year-old defender has spent the vast majority of his career at Ffordd Padarn, where among the many highlights include lifting the North Wales Coast West Premier Cup in 2023-24

Huws signed for Llanberis juniors at 11 after football stopped in the junior section at CPD Deiniolen. 

He played half a season for Llanberis Reserves when he was 16 and then progressed to the first team.

Huws signed for Llanfairpwll in summer 2006, where he played for three and a half seasons in the Cymru Alliance, then rejoined the Darans.

Half a season at Caernarfon Town followed in 2011-12 and he has been with Llanberis ever since, making an estimated 500+ appearances.

The new man takes over from Carwyn Jones, who stepped down recently after eight years in charge,

Huws said: “I’m just really grateful and excited to be taking over at Llanberis. It’s a club that means a lot to me. 

“I have played under some very very good managers and am looking forward to putting my own stamp on the team. Big thank you to Carwyn for 8 incredible years. I can’t wait to get started and am looking forward to the challenge.”
