Darren Davies completes Port Talbot Town switch
Local born defender Darren Davies has completed his move from Merthyr Tydfil to Port Talbot Town much to the delight of manager Nicky Tucker. “Darren is an excellent signing for us who will bring quality and experience to the side,” said Tucker. “I watched Darren play for Merthyr a number of times last season and once his contract expired we began negotiating immediately to bring him to the club and I am delighted to have him on board for the new season”. Davies started his career at Tottenham Hotspur before playing for Greenock Morton and Stirling Albion in Scotland as well for Dover Athletic, Forest Green Rovers and Tiverton Town in the English pyramid. Davies also has Welsh Premier experience from playing for Barry Town between 1998-2000 and most recently featured for Merthyr Tydfil in the Southern League. Tucker was also pleased with how his squad is developing. “The squad is now taking shape following the signings of Liam McCreesh and Matthew Thompson who I rate highly and were the subject of interest from other clubs. Over the weekend we expect to announce further signings”.
