Penybont have strengthened their squad further by adding Goytre United’s young starlet Keane Watts.
The 21-year-old moves to the SDM Glass Stadium for his first taste of top-flight football after playing the last few years in the Cymru South and the Welsh League.
He moves on from Goytre after one full season at the club, the young attacker scored nine goals in 23 appearances across three competitions.
Penybont’s newest recruit featured for just over half an hour in Goytre’s opening league victory against Taffs Well but was announced by the Bridgend club this evening.
Watts’ manager Lee John said: “As much as I’m gutted to lose Keane Watts, he deserves the chance to play at a higher level and it is a good move for him. Everyone at Goytre United wishes him well, good luck Keano!”
Watts will link up with fellow forward Sam Snaith. The pair forged a partnership together during their time in the Welsh Schoolboys program.
Prior to his move to Glenhafod Park Stadium, he was on the books of Port Talbot Town, rising through their youth ranks before impressing in their first-team set up.
He becomes the fourth addition of the summer at the Bridgend club after last month’s triple signing of James Waite, Josh Graham, and Ryan Reynolds.
In terms of outgoings, Connor Davies who left the club, has signed terms with Merthyr Town, he has joined Ian Traylor, Matthew Harris and Ismail Yakubu at Penydarren Park.
Ioan Emmanuel earlier this month signed for Llantwit Major in the Cymru South.
