Rhayader Town welcome Jones as part of new management team
RHAYADER Town Football Club has unveiled its new management team for next season.
Ex-Caersws, Llanidloes Town and Penrhyncoch player Lance Jones has returned to the club where he first played as a junior and graduated to the first team.
Jones will join Eifion Price in managing the MMP Central Wales League South club next season.
Jones said: 'This is a great opportunity for me to push this team back into tier three. I am looking forward to working with Eifion.'
Jones is no stranger to the club and is the son of ex-Rhayader Town and Caersws defender Paul 'Jonah' Jones.
Club chairman Rhys Thomas spoke for the committee in welcoming Jones back to his hometown club.
He said: 'We are excited to welcome Lance back to Y Weirglodd to work alongside Eifion.
"To be fair, Eif has done an incredible job managing the team from in between the posts, but bringing Lance on board will not only introduce fresh ideas - it will also bring greater discipline to our playing style.'
"The committee has worked tirelessly to build the infrastructure, making our grassroots setup one of the best in Wales.
"With this new management team, we hope to see some of our homegrown talent currently playing elsewhere return and help drive us back up through the tiers where we truly belong."
