Llanelli Reds boss brings in fresh faces
Llanelli Reds manager Andy Legg has added some fresh legs and faces to his squad as the Reds prepare for their games in the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Europa League in July.
Legg has included many of the club’s successful Youth Team squad from the past two seasons as he attempts to take advantage of the continuing development of the Reds Academy under the watchful eye of Director Bob Jeffrey.
Keeper Craig Richards, Full Back Jordan Davies, Defender Ryan Batley, Midfielders Declan John and Ross Jones and Striker Rikki Evans all become members of the first team squad along with Jordan Follows who impressed for the first team at the tail end of last season.
Legg points out: “in the current economic climate, we have had to cut our playing budget which has resulted in me having to release some senior players.
"I am confident, though, that the boys that we have brought through from our youth team are more than capable after having a successful period over the past few seasons.
It is our club’s policy to develop from within and by bringing six of the youngsters through in time for Europe and possibly one or two others by the start of the Welsh Premier season, it proves that we are sticking to our policy!”
All six players are likely to be involved in the two friendly games against The New Saints and Port Talbot Town on Saturday and next Tuesday respectively.
