Flint Town United have announced a triple signing, with the additions of Jack Kenny, Jake Phillips and Telor Williams.
Both Kenny and Williams join from their Cymru Premier rivals Caernarfon Town, meanwhile, Phillips moves on from Europa Conference League winners Newtown.
Front-man Kenny reunites with Neil Gibson after previously working with him at both Connah’s Quay and Prestatyn Town.
The 29-year-old scored four goals in 22 appearances for the Canaries last season, including a goal in their play-off final defeat.
Kenny left Caernarfon last week, citing ‘personal circumstances’ for his departure from The Oval.
Commenting on his move to the Essity Stadium, he said: “I’m delighted to sign at Flint Town United for the next season. I know the manager very well and played for him for a number of years, so I know how he operates.
“It will be a pleasure to join him and Jonah once again, as well as playing alongside some familiar faces.
“After speaking with the manager and the chairman, it is clear the club has ambition and a drive for success and that is something I am looking forward to being part of. The hard work starts now.”
A familiar face joining him at the Silkmen is Telor Williams, who also makes the move after playing at Caernarfon.
Williams, who can operate as either a left-back or wing-back, joins up with his third North Walian club, after previously playing for Llandudno.
The 19-year-old who once had a trial at Leicester City, made 19 appearances for the club, after joining in January 2020.
“Having spoken with Neil, I’m excited to learn and develop from his wealth of experience in the game,” said the 18-year-old on his arrival at Flint.
“I can not wait to get started.”
Right-back Jake Phillips is the latest of the newest recruits, who moves on from Latham Park.
The 24-year-old, made 15 appearances for the Robins after joining from Airbus UK.
Prior to joining both Airbus and Newtown, he played at Connah’s Quay, where he worked with Gibson, during his time as first-team coach.
Manager Neil Gibson said: “I’m extremely pleased that Jake has agreed to join the club.
“He is a player with a very professional approach to games and training, with a high work ethic who wants to improve himself as a top Cymru Premier player.”
As well as securing three new signings, they have tied down Alex Jones, Ben Maher, Callum Bratley, Dan Roberts, Jon Rushton, Kai Edwards, Ryan Woods and Sam Hart to new deals.
Meanwhile Rob Hughes left the club earlier in the week, joining Caernarfon Town.
