The New Saints have signed defenders Adam Hughes and Keston Davies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defensive duo are Scott Ruscoe\u2019s first signings this summer as they prepare for their Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davies and Hughes<\/a> have both been on trial at Park Hall, featuring in a number of friendlies, before putting pen to paper with the Welsh Premier League champions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wales Under-21s international Davies was released by the Swans this summer, having had two spells with his boyhood club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is the third Wales central defender to join the club after Ben Cabango<\/a> and Jack Bodenham<\/a> joined the club on loan last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swansea born defender spent last season on loan at League Two club Notts County, featuring a total of seven times for the Magpies. He had also played for Yeovil Town, the season before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon signing for Swansea, Davies said: \u201cI just want a run of games under my belt and play as many games as I can and do as well as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe New Saints are an established club in Wales. The facilities that are here have been beneficial to the whole league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formerly a defender at Tranmere Rovers, Adam Hughes joins from the English non-league scene. He had been playing for clubs such as Camel Laird, Marine and Warrington Town. It was at Marine that he played alongside TNS legend Pip Baker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hughes on his arrival at Park Hall said:\u201cIt\u2019s not every day that a full-time club wants you to go in and play for them. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComing from that environment<\/em> at Tranmere, it\u2019s something that you dream about as a kid. I\u2019m just made up that I\u2019ve got the chance to go on and prove myself<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
