Defender Morgan Lewis signs for City on loan

City have strengthened our defensive options with the loan signing of Morgan Lewis from Merthyr Town for the remainder of the season, subject to the necessary international clearance being received.

The Welshman is a determined left-sided defender who is comfortable on the ball. He cut his football teeth at Cardiff City, where he spent 12 years as he came through the ranks.

Moving on to Mousehole AFC during the summer of 2023, he established himself as a regular in the team that made the play-offs before moving up into The National League South with Weston super Mare. Loan spells at Taunton Town and a return to Mousehole AFC followed before he made a permanent switch to Merthyr Town ahead of the current campaign as they prepared for life in The National League North.

“I am delighted to be able to get Morgan on board for the rest of the season,” said manager, Daf Williams. “He will be a fantastic addition to the group, not only on the pitch, but off the field too.

“He is a left-back who can also play left wing-back and as a left-sided centre back of a back three, so his versatility and quality will be a big asset to us.

“Above all, he is a great competitor; a strong and tenacious character who will work hard and give his absolute all for the cause.

“He is just the type of player that we need and I am looking forward to working with him during the second half of the season.”

Our latest recruit had this to say on his move to GL2: “I am delighted to be here, I have heard a lot of great things about this club and the fans, also I have heard great things about Daf too so just excited to get going.

“I am an attacking full-back, I like to get up and down the wing but I can also do the dirty work and defend well, hopefully I can get involved at both ends of the pitch to get us promoted.”

We welcome Morgan Lewis to the KMM Energy Stadium.
