Llansantffraid Village continue to build towards the new campaign with a key addition to the backroom staff and three exciting signings in green.

The MMP Central Wales League North club has welcomed Dan Miles who joins as first-team assistant manager.

Miles brings extensive experience in local Welsh football and will work closely with the management team to drive standards on and off the pitch.

On the playing side, the Saints have moved to bolster their attacking options with the capture of rapid winger Tommy Clarke.

Joining from the Shropshire leagues, with spells at Ellesmere and Morda, Clarke is a direct, pacey wide man who loves running at defenders, getting into dangerous areas and creating chances for himself and his team-mates.

His speed and eye for goal should add a new dimension to Llansantffraid’s forward line this season.

There is further width and youthful energy with the arrival of Alfie Briggs from Welshpool.

An exciting young winger, Briggs combines real pace with the confidence to take on defenders and deliver dangerous balls into the box. The club are thrilled to have him on board and are looking forward to seeing him develop in the green shirt.

In midfield, Llansantffraid have secured the signature of Matty Leoni, who began at Llanmynech before a spell with Guilsfield and time at Hartpury University, where he combined his studies with a high standard of football.

A natural central or attacking midfielder, Leoni brings energy, creativity and quality in possession, with the ability to link play, drive forward and create chances.

This season he will be aiming to control games from midfield, contribute goals and assists and help Village push towards the top end of the table
