Double signing for Newtown on the eve of new season

Newtown have completed the signings of Tom Davies and Tyrone Ofori. 

The pair join the Robins ahead of the kick-off of the 2020/21 Cymru Premier season. 

Defender Davies joins from Shrewsbury Town after being released by the Salop earlier this summer.

Ofori meanwhile moves across the Cymru Premier, having played for the Cefn Druids last season.

 “We are delighted to welcome Tyrone and Tom to Latham Park,” said manager Chris Hughes.

“The new lads we have already brought in over the summer have gelled well with the existing squad and we have had a good pre-season in the circumstances and are now just looking forward to playing again.

“We were impressed with Tyrone last season and he will provide more options and it is great to bring Tom to his hometown club from Shrewsbury Town.”

Montgomeryshire born Davies had experience with the Shrews first-team last season and was a former teammate of ex Robin loanee Lifumpa Mwandwe.

Davies had been on the books of Shrewsbury since 2010 having been scouted whilst playing for Montgomery Juniors. 

The 18-year-old previously played in the U18s side of the Shrews whilst combining his duties a U16 level.

Joining Davies at Latham Park is Druids striker Ofori, who has a year of Welsh top-flight experience under his belt.

Ofori made 17 appearances for the Ancients last season, scoring two goals. 

He reunites with James Davies, whom he played with at The Rock, before the pair opted for pastures new.
