BANGOR City hope to unveil a new striker – Karl Noon from Blue Square North club Southport – in tonight’s game at Newi Cefn Druids.
The 21-year-old is a full-time pro, whose CV lists spells at Liverpool, Tranmere Rovers, Prescot Cables, Bamber Bridge and Marine.
City manager Nev Powell said: “If everything is sorted and the signing is confirmed, the lad will join our squad at Druids.”
Powell indicated a couple of weeks ago that he was targeting two January window signings, the first of which was goalkeeper Andy Price.
He added: “Both players would be eligible for our campaigns in the Welsh Cup and Loosemores Cup, as well as the league, where we are aiming to make one of the European positions if we can.”
Midfielder Chris Seargeant has reported fit after an ankle problem, while Mike Walsh will also look for the manager’s nod after a one-match ban kept him out of the 1-0 win over Welshpool Town, as Bangor consolidated fourth place.
Druids will include a couple of new faces as they gear up for tonight’s test with Bangor City tonight, writes John Bridgwater.
The Ancients have brought in former Welshpool left winger Mike Thompson, while ex-Wrexham winger Karl Connolly has also joined from Prescot Cables.
Joint boss Waynne Phillips is hoping that a couple of fresh faces can help his side find some consistency, and is backing both the newcomers to make their mark.
“Karl’s about 37 now, but looks the same as he did 20 years ago,” he said.
“He may be a bit slower, but has a good footballing brain and will be a big boost for us.”
The Ancients are still without Lee Jones because of a thigh injury, while Mike Heverin is also still missing.
