Port Talbot Town midfielder Dylan Blain and striker Jeff
White, as well as former Cardiff and Swansea youth product Jordan Smith, have
signed on the dotted line to continue what has been a busy month for Llanelli
manager Bob Jeffrey.
White will help to fill the void left by the departed Martin
Rose, who moved in the other direction this month, and Luke Bowen, who moved to
Port Melbourne Sharks.
The former Bridgend Street and Rhoose FC front man has made
20 appearances in his debut Welsh Premier League season for Port Talbot,
netting seven times in the process.
Blain is far more experienced at this level, having played
more than 330 games for Port Talbot, Haverfordwest and Newtown during his
career. His experience will be invaluable as Jeffrey builds a largely new team
at Stebonheath Park.
Speaking of Blain’s move, Port Talbot FC said: “Dylan told
the club that Port Talbot were by far the best club he has played for, and that
he was sad to be leaving, although he desperately wanted to play regularly.
“He added that his favourite memory at the club was beating
Swansea City in the FAW Premier Cup.”
Port Talbot also signed three players from Llanelli, with
Lee Surman, Martin Rose and Ashley Evans moving to the GenQuip Stadium; Surman and
Rose starting their second spells with the club.
Port Talbot winger Nicky Holland also recently made the
switch to Llanelli as the players continue to trade personnel.
Smith is a talented midfield player who impressed with
Swansea’s reserve side while at the Liberty Stadium. He signs for the Reds from
Haverfordwest County and operates in the centre of midfield.
Additionally to all this, Llanelli have announced that
winger Geoff Kellaway is leaving the club, having only joined last summer, for
local rivals Carmarthen Town.
Kellaway has made 22 appearances this term, scoring twice,
as injuries hampered his settling in. Despite this, he was becoming a favourite
with Reds fans, who will be sorry to see him go.
A club statement said: “The club would like to wish Geoff the very best of success in the future and thank him for his efforts this season.”
