RHYL have bolstered their defensive options ahead of the Huws Gray Alliance run-in with the capture of former Wigan Athletic youngster Liam Langford.

The 21-year-old was previously with Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers before signing for the Latics in 2014, and he can play at centre half or left back.

He is an ex-team mate of goalkeeping duo Owen Evans and Dan Lavercombe, who both had successful loan spells at the Lilies last season.

Director of Football Mark Connolly, said: “We are pleased that Liam has signed for us, he's a great talent for the future of Rhyl Football Club.

“He's a young strong defender who we have been monitoring for a while and he also brings with him a great attitude and a willingness to work hard and help this club in its transition to move forward and be back where it belongs.”

The club have also announced the departures of defender Gerwyn Jones and winger Tom Walsh.

Jones has been unable to commit to training with the club since December and has been released to enable him to join another side, while Walsh has departed the Corbett Sports Stadium due to increased work commitments.
