Cefn Druids sign trialists Howarth and Reilly

Cefn Druids have signed Ramirez Howarth and Tom Reilly following a successful trial period.

The pair join the Ancients together, having both trialed in recent friendlies for the club.

Reilly joins from Bangor City, having played for them since February. Ramirez joins from the English pyramid system.

“Tom and Ramirez have both come into the club and brought into the philosophy and environment me and Huw are trying to create at Druids,” said assistant manager Jayson Starkey.

“Both have impressed in training sessions but also carried that into to pre-season fixtures we have played so far. 

“We are excited to be working with them and developing them into better players.”

19-year-old Reilly was previously on the books of Accrington Stanley and had spent time in Sweden with Eskilstuna City in the third tier of Swedish football.

Reilly never made a senior appearance for Stanley but was an unused substitute in two Checkatrade Trophy fixtures.

He moved to Sweden briefly, having been given the opportunity by League Football Education to earn a long-term contract. 

Youngster Ramirez Howarth, commonly known as Remy, was previously on the books of Blackburn Rovers.

The 21-year-old last season was at Ashton United, making five appearances in the Vanarama National League North.

The left-winger has played in the FA Youth Cup and Premier League Two. His senior football experience was whilst he was on loan at Skelmersdale from Blackburn.
