Cymru Premier League clubs have strengthened their ranks
Lee Fowler led the Silkmen to a ninth-placed finish in the top flight last time out and he has added the services of Cameron Ferguson and former Aberystwyth Town captain Jack Thorn (pictured above) to his squad. Ferguson, the son of ex-Everton legend Duncan, started his career at the Everton Academy before signing for Tranmere Rovers as part of their scholarship programme. Thorn's father, Andy, was also an ex-professional player having made more than 100 appearances for both Wimbledon and Crystal Palace. Flintshire rivals, Connah's Quay Nomads, have added another new signing to their ranks. Twenty-year-old midfielder Ben Kershaw has arrived from Hyde United in the Northern Premier League. Boss John Disney told the club website: 'I am delighted to announce Ben has signed for us, a player I have kept tabs on whilst he has been playing at Stoke for two years but also someone that has developed in men's football the last 12 months with Hyde. 'Ben brings a freshness and very good technical ability to our midfield and one that will flourish in the Welsh premier league to kick us back into the top half of the league.'
