ABER TOWN AND MICHAEL WALSH MUTUALLY AGREE NOT TO RENEW CONTRACT

Updated 24 May : 14:05 by admin

Aberystwyth Town can confirm that the Club and central midfielder Michael Walsh have mutually agreed not to renew his contract at Park Avenue for next season.

The travelling time from Walsh's home in Prestatyn Town was the major factor in this decision, which was agreed with new Manager Ian Hughes this week.

Michael said: "Unfortunately, with a young family, the travelling has become a much bigger issue than it was when quite a few of the squad came from North Wales, which is why I agreed with Hughsie to part company with the Club. I've had a great time at Park Avenue and I'm glad to be leaving on good terms."

Ian Hughes said: "Michael has given two seasons of service to the club and we thank him for his efforts on the pitch, his attitude towards training and his will to win is second to none and I'm sure there will be quite a few clubs after his signature, I wish him all the very best."

Since joining the Club from Bangor City in January 2012, Michael has been a model professional and has made 22+2 appearances in the Welsh Premier League.

JAMES EDWARDS TAKES OVER AS ABERYSTWYTH TOWN PROGRAMME EDITOR

Updated 23 May : 16:47 by admin

Aberystwyth Town FC is delighted to announce that James Edwards has agreed to take over a Programme Editor next season.

Nineteen year old James acted as Media Officer for the club for two seasons, and was named as the Black and Greens' Clubman of the Year in 2012 before leaving Aberystwyth to study Sports Journalism at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston last September.

James said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be named as the new Programme Editor for the club. As a student trying to cut it in the journalism world, I felt that an opportunity like this was just too good to turn down. Even though I've been away at University for the past year or so, I've continued to take a great interest in the club and look forward to undertaking the role of Editor next season."

Outgoing Programme Editor Thomas Crockett said: "I am very happy to be able to pass the Programme over to a safe pair of hands. James' work for us as Media Officer was impeccable, and he is never short of an opinion, so I expect the Programme to make interesting reading next season. After six years of me I am sure supporters will be glad to hear another voice as Editor!".
