“I am delighted to join the club after accepting the manager’s position. After meeting the board early in the week the challenge to get Conwy Borough back into the Huws Gray Cymru Alliance is one I couldn’t turn down.

“The club is ambitious and, after a poor season which resulted in relegation, they have set out the long term plans, and it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to.
“Off the pitch; the club has everything in place to challenge for the Welsh Premier League but the first priority is to get club back into the Cymru Alliance. This won’t be easy as there some good sides in the Welsh Alliance and it will be a hard league.”
