Draper boost as Newtown complete move for ex-TNS striker
NEWTOWN Football Club have completed a transfer coup on the eve of the new JD Cymru North season.
The Robins have swooped to sign striker Greg Draper who arrives with a reputation as one of the recent JD Cymru Premier greats following a glittering career with TNS.
The 35 year old departed TNS in 2021 and had a spell at JD Cymru North side Guilsfield before returning to Park Hall where he has continued to represent the Oswestry club's reserve side.
Now, Draper has been re-united with ex-Guilsfield boss Nathan Leonard at Latham Park and joins Tom Jones in the line-up following his loan move from TNS.
Draper scored 163 goals in 252 appearances for the Saints between 2011 and 2021 while also helping the club to nine league titles and five Welsh Cup triumphs.
