Experienced Welsh Premier League goalkeeper joins ranks at Park Avenue

Aberystwyth Town are pleased to announce the signing of experienced Welsh Premier League goalkeeper Terry McCormick. Terry has made a total of 179 appearances in the league for Bala Town, Connah’s Quay Nomads and Rhyl, and will go straight into Friday’s squad to face Cardiff Met in place of local goalie Leigh Jenkins; who’s recovering from injury after being taken off against Llandudno last weekend.

New signing McCormick started his career with Tranmere Rovers before moving to Marine, and then on to Congleton Town who play in the North West Counties League. He moved into the Welsh Premier League with Connah’s Quay Nomads in 2008 and went on to make over 50 appearances in all competitions between 2008 and 2010. He then joined Bala Town in 2011 and helped guide the Lakesiders to the Europa League play-off final.

After his spell at Bala, he moved on to Conwy Borough before moving back to Connah’s Quay in July 2013 – and was named in the Welsh Premier League Team of Phase One for the 2013/14 season. Terry has also spent time playing for Flint Town, Rhyl, Brickfield Rangers, Runcorn Town and Ashville FC.
​
Everyone at the club would like to welcome Terry to Park Avenue, and you can see him in action on Friday evening as Aber take on Cardiff Met at Park Avenue. The club would also like to take the opportunity to wish goalkeeper Leigh Jenkins a speedy recovery after it was confirmed he suffered a hairline fracture on his shin during last weekend’s victory over Llandudno, an injury that will hopefully see Leigh back in action much sooner than first feared.
