Nantlle Vale have announced two top-class young signings.

Striker Byron Davis has joined the Tier 4 North Wales Coast West League Premier Division outfit from Holyhead Hotspur, while centre-half Sion Kelly makes the move from Ardal North West Bethesda Athletic to Maes Dulyn.

Davis, 19, was a proven goalscorer with Caernarfon Town Development before in 2025-26, his first season in senior football, he bagged 28 goals in 34 appearances and 20 in league games for Tier 3 Felinheli.

The teenager grabbed hat-tricks in thumping league wins over St Asaph City and Prestatyn Town, as well as hitting three against Lex XI in the Welsh Cup.

Cymru North side Holyhead Hotspur came calling last summer and Davis went on to make nine appearances for the Holy Islanders, scoring in a 3-2 home loss against Bangor City 1876.

With his talent for finding the net at Tier 3, Davis is expected to make quite an impact for the Penygroes side, currently fifth in the NWCW Premier.

Kelly, 21, spent a number of seasons with Bontnewydd before signing for Pwllheli last December.

After a short stay at The Rec, he rejoined Bontnewydd in April 2026 and netted six club goals in the closing weeks of the campaign.

Kelly made 119 club appearances for Bont in total, scoring 20 goals, before switching to Bethesda early this season.
