Manager aims to improve squad

By Tim Channon on May 22, 09 12:35 PM

COLWYN BAY manager Neil Young says he is aiming to bring in up to seven new faces for next season.
And he admits that to accommodate that number, some of the current squad will not be retained.
"I believe Division One North, if we are in that division again, is going to be more competitive than ever next season with some big hitters in there in terms of budgets and to compete with them as best we can on the field we need to improve the current squad quite considerably," said the manager today (May 22).
"We need more players with the experience and knowledge of playing at the top end of this level of the pyramid. I have been busy talking to a number of players who would fit the bill, but they are all keeping their options open at the moment with so much uncertainty around."
The manager is also in the process of speaking to all the current squad. So far Lee Davey and Lee Hammond have both agreed to sign up again for next season and new offers have been made to Steve Aspinall and Keeper Chris Sanna, with both asking for time to consider before making a decision.
I understand the club have also received an offer for one of the contracted players and there may be more news on this after the weekend.
The club have also advertised for a new physio following news that Colin Edwards is leaving the club after 10 years loyal service.
Neil Young commented: "Colin has been very supportive to me in my time at the club and I would like to thank him for all the work he has done both on and off the pitch. I wish him and his family all the very best of luck for the future."
