Aberystwyth Town FC are delighted to confirm the appointment of Bari Morgan as Under 19s Manager

It is a great opportunity for me to get back involved with the Club and I am looking forward to working hard and getting as many Under 19 players as possible promoted through to the First Team over the coming years."
Morgan spent 14 seasons as a Player at Park Avenue after joining from Swansea City, where he was awarded a professional contract. An Aberaeron secondary school pupil from Plwmp, now working at a Llanon computing firm, Welsh speaking Bari was a Club Captain and a tenacious midfielder who gave everything for the team. He won the 2003/04 Supporters' Player of the Year Award and was a Wales Semi Pro International in 2004. He captained the side in the InterToto Cup against FC Dinaburg in 2004 and also played in the Europa League for Town ten years later against Derry City.
