CAM'S BLACK AND GREEN RETURN!

Aberystwyth Town FC are delighted to confirm the return of talented striker Cameron Allen for the remainder of the 2025/26 JD Cymru South season. Despite interest elsewhere, Academy product Cam re-joins the Club after two-and-a-half years in spells with Carmarthen Town, Penrhyncoch, and Guilsfield respectively.

Son of ex-Town striker and later manager Gavin, Cam was a standout throughout his time in the ATFC Academy and found his breakthrough as a prolific goalscorer for the Under-19s Development side in the 2021/22 season, scoring 38 goals in 26 appearances.

In January 2022, he was awarded his senior debut in the JD Cymru Premier at just 16-years-old, replacing John Owen away at Penybont FC.

Despite limited minutes from the bench later that season, Cam notched his first senior goal on the final day at Park Avenue. Beating Declan Poole in the air, his clever reverse header equalised the scoreline to 1-1 late on against defending title-holders Connah's Quay Nomads, as the Black and Greens secured an 8th-place finish.

An injury-hit 2022/23 season was a set-back to Cam's opportunities in the 1st-Team as two two-month spells on the sidelines limited him to six senior appearances in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2023/24 season, Cam made the move to Carmarthen Town of the JD Cymru South. Cam found the net four times in his first six appearances for The Old Gold before an unfortunate injury set-back in October sidelined him until late December.

Cam returned to Ceredigion that January joining Penrhyncoch FC, then of the Ardal North-East, striking 16 times in 16 appearances across all competitions as The Roosters gained immediate promotion back to the JD Cymru North.

Remaining at Cae Baker ahead of the 2024/25 season, he continued his fine form with 12 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions - including four in one game against Llandudno FC in November as Penrhyn were resounding victors in a 5-0 win at Cae Baker.

In January 2025, Cam made the move to Guilsfield FC under the management of father Gavin where he tallied two goals in six games across all competitions by mid-March, however missing the latter games of the season as the Guils finished a respectable 6th-place.

Having enjoyed a sabbatical Down Under since June, Cam now returns to Ceredigion with his sights set once again on the back of the net!

Cam told us:

"It feels great to be back at Aberystwyth Town after being away since the 22/23 season.

I’ve had really valuable spells with Carmarthen Town, Penrhyncoch and Guilsfield, which helped me gain important senior experience, and spending time in Australia since June has also given me a fresh perspective both on and off the pitch.

I’ve had to manage a few injury setbacks over the years, but I’ve put a lot of work into strengthening those areas and I’m feeling fit, strong, and ready to go.

I returned to the UK this week and, although I had a few options, coming back to my home club where I came through the academy just felt right. I feel I’ve developed a lot during my time away and I’m excited to bring maturity, work rate, goals and be a focal point at the top end of the pitch.

I’m really looking forward to getting back out there and doing everything I can to help the club push for promotion and return to the Cymru Premier."

Manager Craig Williams commented:

"Really pleased to welcome Cameron back to Aberystwyth Town. Once we knew he was going to be available he was a priority for us to add to our squad.

He’s a local lad with previous experience at the club and will add real quality and hopefully goals to our group. Welcome Cam!"
