MACHYNLLETH Football Club have been bolstered by the return of Jac Petrie.

The forward returns to his hometown club from Caersws ahead of the new season.

Petrie needs no introduction having netted 25 goals for the Maglonians in the 2020 season before joining the Bluebirds.

Meanwhile the club has been refused a tier three licence to compete in the Ardal North East League next season and must appeal in a bid to overturn the decision.

Currently the Ardal North East League is running two short of its maximum quota with the North West League running one short.
