There have been several transfer moves involving clubs across the Cymru North and the wider North Wales football pyramid, with Evan Parry returning to Corwen and Jack Walsh making a comeback to Pentraeth.
Connah’s Quay Town and Cefn Albion have also strengthened their squads, with Kieran Handley and Josh Watkin both completing moves as clubs continue to reshape their teams.
Here is the latest Cymru North transfer round-up.
Evan Parry returns to Corwen after Llanuwchllyn spell
Goalkeeper Evan Parry has returned to Corwen after leaving Llanuwchllyn, bringing him back to the Wrexham-based club he left during the summer.
The 20-year-old featured twice for Llanuwchllyn in the Welsh Cup, appearing against Llanberis and Newtown. He also made 10 appearances as an unused substitute in the Cymru North, providing back-up to goalkeeper Rob Dascalu.
Parry made his debut for Llanuwchllyn on November 7, starting in their 3-1 defeat to Bow Street in the Ardal North East.
His return to Corwen represents a move back to familiar surroundings, having previously been with the club before his summer departure.
Jack Walsh returns to Pentraeth to play under father Marv
Jack Walsh is heading back to familiar surroundings after agreeing to rejoin Pentraeth, bringing an end to his four-year spell with Holyhead Hotspur.
The midfielder will return to the Sky Blues, where he first broke into senior football as a teenager, and will now have the added experience of playing under his father, Marv, who is in charge of the North Wales Coast West Division One side.
Walsh was just 16 when he made his first-team bow for Pentraeth. He went on to make 26 appearances during the 2019-20 season, scoring three goals while the club competed in Welsh Alliance Division Two.
His performances earned him a move into the Cymru North with Bangor City for the 2021-22 campaign, when Welsh football returned following the pandemic. He later had a spell with Conwy Borough before joining Holyhead Hotspur.
During his four seasons with the Anglesey club, Walsh became an important figure, making 144 appearances and helping them secure promotion back to the Cymru North in 2024-25.
Pentraeth confirmed the return in an announcement, highlighting Walsh’s journey from the junior ranks at Tynygongl FC to becoming an experienced player across the second and third tiers of Welsh football.
The club said: “We’re delighted to announce that Jack Walsh is back with the Sky Blues!
“Jack is one of our own. He came through the junior system at Tynygongl FC, before the merger with Pentraeth, and made his first team debut for us at just 16 years old.
“At 18 he stepped up to the Cymru North with Bangor City, then had a short spell at Conwy Borough. He spent the last four seasons at Holyhead Hotspur, where he played 144 games. That’s several seasons in the second and third tiers of Welsh football.
“Now he’s bringing all that experience back to where it started.
“And there’s a lovely family twist: Jack will be playing under our first team manager, Marv… who happens to be his dad!”
Kieran Handley joins Connah’s Quay Town from Gresford Athletic
Kieran Handley has left Gresford Athletic to join Connah’s Quay Town.
The 19-year-old initially joined Gresford from FC Mountain and made one appearance for the club, coming on as a substitute in August.
He has since featured twice for Connah’s Quay Town, starting in their victory over Broughton United.
Handley also featured in their narrow 1-0 defeat to Prestatyn Town as he looks to establish himself with his new club.
Josh Watkin completes Cefn Albion move from Brickfield Rangers
Josh Watkin has made the switch from Brickfield Rangers to Cefn Albion, with the 22-year-old left-back already featuring twice for his new side.
Watkin appeared in Albion’s 5-4 victory over Dolgellau before also featuring in last week’s 3-0 defeat to Builth Wells.
The defender spent a season with Brickfield Rangers, making 24 appearances in all competitions and contributing four assists and three goals.
His opportunities were more limited during the current campaign. Watkin featured on the opening day, registering an assist, before subsequently being named as an unused substitute on five occasions.
