Reds start Europa League plans

The Reds have started training ahead of their UEFA Europa League exploits at the beginning of July.

At their Saturday morning session at the Llandarcy Academy of Sport, Reds manager, Andy Legg, confirmed that Jason Bowen, Lloyd Grist, Lee Surman, Chris Thomas, Ashley Evans and Chris Venables had all resigned for the forthcoming season.

He also welcomed new additions to the squad in the shape of Luke Bowen, Geoff Kellaway, and Martin Rose and ex Cardiff City Academy product, Mamadou Diallu. Legg was also expecting Antonio Corbisiero, Ashley Morris, Ryan Batley, Martyn Giles, Craig Moses and Craig Williams to agree to terms this week. In addition former keeper Craig Morris is also expected to return to the club.

One omission to the squad is young goalkeeper, Craig Richards, who has joined Port Talbot Town.

Legg is extremely disappointed at this move saying ” Craig was the number one choice for the last ten games of last season and was in pole position for the shirt this year. I am quite upset that he has chosen to go to Port Talbot for a few pounds more!” Richards joins Rhys Griffiths, Stuart Jones and Jordan Follows who have left the club to sign for Port Talbot Town and Aberystwyth Town respectively. Also departing are Chris Holloway and Chris Llewellyn, who have been released.
