Croesyceiliog: Bird joins as Doidge and Osborne return
Croesyceiliog have signed forward Jamie Bird alongside the returning Thomas Doidge and Zac Osborne.
Bird joins from English non-league side Bristol Manor Farm whilst Doidge and Osborne join from the Cymru South.
Bird, 21, initially joined Croesyceiliog in October 2018 but moved to the Southern League outfit instead.
The former Cardiff City striker had also joined Merthyr Town in the summer but didn’t make a competitive appearance for the Martyrs in this campaign.
Croesyceiliog said: “Jamie is a talented young player who needs to get back to enjoying his football locally and we are glad he has chosen us.”
A club statement from his former club Bristol Manor Farm read: “We can confirm that Jamie Bird has left Bristol Manor Farm.”
“We would like to thank Jamie for his efforts whilst he has been with us and wish him all the best for the future.”
Returning to Woodland Road is Thomas Doidge who had spent a season and a half at Goytre United.
Joining Doidge is striker Zac Osborne who left to join Cwmbran Celtic in the summer.
“Zac is a proven goalscorer at our level and we happy he wants to play his football at our club,” said Croesyceiliog after re-signing the forward.
The trio could make the first appearances against Garden Village on December 14.
