“I would like to thank Merthyr Town for everything that they have done for me over the past 13 years. They gave me an opportunity at 17 and hopefully, I did the club proud in that time.”
Centre-back Dan Summerfield joins having spent four seasons in the Midlands with clubs like Halesowen Town and Stratford Town, where he was named Player of the Season.
