The spotlight falls on some of Carmarthen Town manager Tomi Morgan’s new recruits to Richmond Park this week –
Colin Staples (Assistant Manager) Colin rejoins Morgan’s team after being appointed as Town’s Academy Director. He is a highly qualified coach with international experience. Was Tomi’s assistant during his previous reign.
Rhys Wilson (goalkeeper) Born: 11.06.92. Rhys has recently been released by Aberdeen and has returned to Wales to look for a new challenge. He played in all the pre-season friendlies and has looked a fine prospect.
Kyle Graves (defender) Born: 01.04.89. One of Morgan’s new signings for the 2011-12 season. Kyle was previously with Haverfordwest County where he established himself as a very polished defender.
Steve Berry (defender) Born: 25.01.91. Steve begins his first season with Carmarthen Town having spent last season playing in Sweden. A very skilful defender with an excellent football pedigree
