Many thanks to all clubs for use of their photographs

Liam Morris (Porthmadog to Trearddur Bay)

Trearddur Bay becomes the eighth career club for this 27-year-old left-winger from Ynys Môn.
Morris started his senior football at Llanfairpwll and Gaerwen but came to major prominence at Llangefni Town where he helped the Anglesey side win the Welsh Alliance Division One title in 2018-19 with a 22-goal haul.
His performances helped seal a move to Cymru North club Conwy Borough in summer 2019.
In 2020-21, he joined Holyhead Hotspur, but the team played just once – a 1-0 success over Llandudno in the Nathaniel MG Cup – before the season was scrapped for the whole of Welsh football below Tier 1 due to Covid.
The 2021-22 campaign saw Morris perform well in the Cymru North for Hotspur, notching 10 goals in 27 appearances.
Next came a move to Bangor 1876, where he spent three-and-a-bit seasons and netted 49 goals in 98 appearances across all competitions.
Morris joined Porthmadog in November 2025 and went on to score four times in 14 games for Y Traeth side last season.
This skilful operator is Ynys Môn’s highest scorer of all-time in the International Island Games, breaking Richard ‘Boskin’ Hughes’ record total of 9 during the 2025 event in Orkney.
His record-setting 10th goal came in the 1-0 semi-final victory over Isle of Man.
CLUBS AND GOALS (records as complete as possible)
Llanfairpwll (2016-17): 15 goals
Gaerwen (2017-18): 23 goals
Llangefni Town (2018-19): 22 goals
Conwy Borough (2019-20): 4 goals

Also pocketed 15 goals for Trearddur in 2025-26, having previously worn the colours of Flint Mountain, Aberystwyth Town, Bala Town and Cefn Druids.

James Davies (Airbus UK Broughton to Llanuwchllyn)

Owain Ellis and Osian Ellis Jones (both Nantlle Vale to CPD Pwllheli)

A double signing from Nantlle Vale for CPD Pwllheli.

Ilan Ap Gareth (Holywell Town to CPD Llanuwchllyn)

Central midfielder whose Cymru North experience will certainly stand new boys Llanuwchllyn in good stead.
