Barry Town United have sent out Drew Perrett on loan to Goytre United for the remainder of the season.

The 18 year-old midfielder - a product of the club's Academy - has made four Cymru Premier appearances since signing his first professional contract at Jenner Park last summer.

But Perrett will play out the remainder of the campaign with United as he looks to gain more experience playing first-team football in the Cymru Leagues.

United, who are currently third bottom in the Cymru South, say their new addition will add "some quality to our attack", as they prepare for their first game under new manager Stephen Kelleher on Friday night, when they visit leaders Trethomas Bluebirds.

Barry have also bid farewell to Josh Beecher, who has returned to Cardiff City after his loan spell expired last weekend.

The defender rejoins the Bluebirds' academy setup - led by ex-Barry manager Gavin Chesterfield - after making 12 appearances in the Welsh domestic top flight.

Incumbent Jenner Park boss Steve Jenkins has an extra three days to prepare for Barry's final game of the first phase - at home to Haverfordwest County next Tuesday night.

Barry are currently sixth in the table as they aim to secure a place in the Championship Conference for the first time in four years.
