Daniel Sheehan and Jake Parry (Port Talbot) and Daniel Thomas
and Craig Jones (Afan Lido) are the players in question, with the announcement coming
just a couple of weeks after Thomas and Jones made the switch between the neighbouring
clubs.
Sheehan only made the switch from Afan Lido to Port Talbot
last summer and had cemented his place at right-back in the team, making 20
appearances. Parry was a product of the youth team at the GenQuip Stadium,
making four first team appearances.
Manager Scott Young admitted he was “disappointed” at their
decision ahead of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bangor City. He said: “We knew that
Sheehan was going and then Jake dropped a bombshell on me the other day which
was a big set-back.
“They are young lads going across to the other side of the
world for the opportunity of a better life, so we haven’t lost them to any of
our rivals.
“Obviously we’re disappointed to be losing them but
hopefully, if they ever do come back, they’ll want to play for Port Talbot Town
and we’ll welcome them back with open arms.”
Thomas had just returned to the Marstons’ Stadium having
spent six months at Port Talbot after joining in the summer, making 18
appearances and scoring twice. He had played twice for the club since his
return.
Jones had also just switched back to Afan Lido having made
just five substitute appearances for the Blues this year. He made one
appearance off the bench for Lido before they announced on January 30 that he
was leaving for Australia.
The club are yet to confirm Thomas’ leaving.
