Mae CPD Tref Aberystwyth yn falch i groesawi Capten y Clwb Jack Thorn nol am ei 5ed tymor gyda'r Clwb!

Aberystwyth Town FC are delighted to welcome back Club Captain Jack Thorn for his 5th season in Black and Green!

Jack joined Town in September 2020 after his release from Wrexham AFC, following a spell on loan with Newtown during the 2019/20 campaign. Making 23 first-team appearances in his first season in Black & Green, Jack was handed the armband for the 2021/22 season and was an ever-present in the line-up, making 35 appearances, missing only 1 game all season due to suspension.

Jack returned for the 2022/23 campaign and history repeated itself as he made 35 appearances in all competitions, missing a single game to suspension. He also pitched in with two vital goals - each in 2-1 home victories against Deeside opposition, first against eventual runners-up Connah's Quay and then to Flint Town during Phase 1.

The skipper made it a hattrick of 35-appearance seasons with a single game missed to suspension in 2023/24 -- this time doubling his goal tally to four despite a move into centre-half for the 2nd half of the season, as Town maintained their JD Cymru Premier status.

Heading into his 5th term in Black and Green -- 4th as Club Captain -- Jack has amassed an impressive 129 Black and Green appearances at the age of just 23 and has been a stalwart at Park Avenue over recent years.

Jack told us:
"I'm happy to be back for my 5th season at Aber, and leading the boys for my 4th. I'd like to think I have a good relationship with the fans and the club, and hopefully I can build on that further again this season.

Last season, we "did what Aber do" and survived on the last day -- however, this year the aim is to look up the table and not have to worry about battling against relegation late in the season.

I can't wait to get going again -- see you all soon!"

Manager Anthony Williams commented:
"It's fantastic for the Club to have Thorny back with us as Captain -- he recognises that he's been here for a number of years and is well-thought of by everybody at the club.

He showed his versatility last season playing both centre-back and centre-mid, and is clearly an important leader for our club who brings a lot of guidance and stability to the squad for such a young player.

He appreciates what we're trying to achieve as a club moving forwards and sees that we're looking to strengthen the squad next season to compete higher up the table."

Croeso nol, Thorny! / Welcome back, Skipper!
