Porthmadog bid a fond farewell to class act Danny Brookwell

Danny Brookwell has said fond farewells to Porthmadog FC after three highly impressive seasons at the club.

The 33-year-old arrived at Y Traeth at the start of 2023-24, was part of the team which won the 2024-25 Ardal North League Cup, scoring twice when Port beat Brickfield Rangers 4-1 in the final, and last season helped the club clinch promotion back to Tier 2 via a play-off.

A massive favourite among Port’s fervent fans, left-winger Brookwell played in 92 league and cup matches for the team, notching 39 goals.

A club statement paid the following tribute to the brilliant Brookwell

“CPD Porthmadog have announced that popular forward Danny Brookwell is leaving Y Traeth following a strong spell of commitment to the club. His departure comes as part of wider changes to the squad as the club prepares for the new season, but both the club and supporters have expressed deep thanks for his contribution.
Brookwell joined Porthmadog as a dynamic and determined player, and quickly became one of the team’s familiar faces. His pace in attack, tireless work rate and positive attitude were qualities that impressed supporters and the squad alike.
