Barry sign forward Owen

Barry Town United have signed young forward Ieuan Owen from Afan Lido.

The 18 year-old moves to Jenner Park after scoring fifteen goals in 25 Cymru South games for Lido last season.

Owen is the eighth new recruit in a busy summer transfer window for Barry, which has recently included the likes of midfielders Rhys Kavanagh and Robbie Wilmott. 

A club spokesperson said he will wear the number 18 shirt.

Afan Lido confirmed his departure for "pastures new" on Thursday, saying: "Ieuan has been an excellent servant to the club over the past few seasons and we have been privileged to see his talent flourish in a Lido shirt."

Owen's arrival at Barry coincides with the start of a Bank Holiday double bill in the Cymru Premier, which sees Steve Jenkins' men travel to Aberystwyth on Friday night, followed by a home clash against Newtown on Monday.

Barry were held to two 1-1 draws against Bala at home and Cardiff Met away in their first two games of the new league season.

There'll be full match commentary from the Talk of the Town team on Barry's game against Aberystwyth from 8pm at broradio.fm/sport

Llantwit Major, who have one win, one draw and one defeat from their opening games in the Cymru South, look to get back to winning ways on Friday night as they visit Afan Lido - followed by a home game against near neighbours Taffs Well on Bank Holiday Monday.
