Brickfield Rangers prepare to test themselves in Cymru North
Gareth Wilson's side are heading into the new campaign on the back of a terrific season, which saw them claim the Ardal North East League title to secure promotion to the second tier. Brickfield have confirmed the signing of experienced forward Alex Darlington. Darlington arrives at the club with an impressive pedigree, having represented a number of top clubs throughout his career, including the likes of Wrexham, The New Saints, Airbus, Aberystwyth, Cefn Druids and Maltese side Mosta. The former Wales U19s and U23s international is a proven goalscorer and highly respected figure within the game and he is sure to bring leadership, quality and invaluable experience to the squad. Darlington told the club's Facebook page: "I'm really looking forward to getting started and contributing as much as I can on and off the pitch. "I know Gaz and the coaching staff well, and that connection played a big part in my decision to join the club." Wilson added: "Securing a player of Alex's calibre is a real statement of intent from the club. "I'm absolutely delighted to have him on board and am looking forward to working closely with him. His experience, professionalism, and quality will be a massive asset to our group." Former Wrexham, Shrewsbury, Bolton and Colwyn Bay player Danny Jones is one new addition who is sure to bring quality to the squad. The attacking midfielder told the club's Facebook page: 'I'm hungry to make a big impact this season and help the team in any way I can,' Brothers Matty and Ryan Williams are further new additions to Rangers' squad ahead of the forthcoming season. Matt admitted: "I'm thrilled to officially join Bricky and be part of this exciting project. "The gaffer has shared his vision and expectations for the season and I'm fully committed to contributing my best on and off the pitch. "I can't wait to get started, work hard with the team and help us achieve great things together." Ryan added: "Excited to join Brickfield. Can't wait to meet the lads and get the new season started." Team boss Wilson said: "Bringing Matty and Ryan into the squad is a big step forward for us. "Matty is a natural leader with great composure and experience, and Ryan brings real quality and drive. "He's got bags of potential and the hunger to take his game to the next level. "I've no doubt he'll become a fan favourite. I'm buzzing to get both lads on board - they understand what we're building here at Bricky and are fully on board with the direction we're going." It's not all about the new signings, with plenty of last season's title-winning squad remaining on board with the club. Andy Vale, last season's top scorer in the league for the club with 22 goals, is staying on for the Cymru North tilt, alongside the likes of Tom Williams, Dom Doherty, Jay Richardson, Isaac Dawson, Aden Fox, Ben Dawson, Ryan Lancelotte and Kian Thomas. Gerson Silva Neto, goalkeeper Ryan Price, Lewis Clamp, Callum Roberts, Simon Smith, Harry Fuller and Leroy Stamp are others to be retained by Rangers.
