CAERSWS will have a full squad available for their opening home game of the Huws Gray Alliance season against last season’s champions Llangefni Town on Saturday.
Newly installed player-coach Hugh Clarke returns to lead the Bluebirds defence alongside new signing Gareth Sudlow who is in line to make his home bow along with midfielder Karl Seliaerts and fellow summer signings Richie Evans and Neil Mitchell as well as on-loan goalkeeper Alex Ramsey.
Evans will also welcome back Jacob Smith and Simon Jones from the side which went down fighting in a 1-0 opening day defeat at Rhyl last weekend.
Evans said: “It is a big game for our lads. Llangefni lost their first game and as defending champions they will want to bounce back this weekend.
“Alex has not put a foot wrong arriving while it was also good to get Gareth Sudlow signed before the Rhyl game. He is a big lad and will be an asset at the back.”
