Aberystwyth Town Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Ryan Edwards. Ryan joins the club after leaving Llandudno in June, and adds a wealth of experience to Aber's squad having previously played in the Welsh Premier League for The New Saints, Connah's Quay Nomads, Cefn Druids, Bala Town and Airbus UK Broughton.
Ryan, who hails from Northop, is a pacey and skilful attacking midfielder who can play anywhere across the midfield or front line. He started his career with Connah's Quay Nomads back in 2011, coming through the ranks with the Nomads' academy and forging his way into the first team by the 2013/14 season. Having excelled at first team level, Ryan's brilliant form caught they eye of The New Saints, who opted to sign the midfielder on a full time contract in January 2014.
Regarded as one of the best young prospects in the league, Ryan played a pivotal role in The New Saints' world record breaking 27 consecutive league victories during the 2016/17 season, before signing for Bala Town in 2017 where he made 12 appearances for the Lakesiders. Ryan also spent a period on loan with Airbus UK Broughton in late 2017, before joining Llandudno ahead of the 2017/18 season - where he made a total of 14 appearances.
Despite being just 24 years old, Ryan has already made 99 JD Welsh Premier League appearances, scoring 10 goals in the process. Known for being a great athlete and having an excellent work rate, Ryan is sure to become a fans favourite at Park Avenue in no time. Aber's supporters can see a glimpse of Ryan's talent by watching his superb Goal of the Month for Connah's Quay Nomads during his breakthrough season in the league here.
Everyone at the club would like to extend a warm welcome to Ryan, and he'll be straight into the thick of the action as Town travel to face Neston Nomads in their final pre-season fixture ahead of the start of the new season tomorrow afternoon.
