Beecher joins Barry on deadline day

Barry Town United wrapped up their summer transfer business by signing Cardiff City youth Josh Beecher on loan.

The 18 year-old defender - a product of the Bluebirds' academy - has joined the Cymru Premier club until January.

Beecher has made just one senior appearance for Cardiff so far, coming off the subs bench in their EFL Cup defeat against Blackburn Rovers last September.

Friday's deadline also saw Callum Huggins sent out on loan to Cymru South club Trethomas Bluebirds.

The young forward was immediately given a start in their 1-0 defeat to Caerau Ely in the Welsh Blood Service Cup on Friday night.

It's been a busy summer for manager Steve Jenkins, who recruited ten new signings at Jenner Park, including Harrison Bright.

The former Newport County defender, who was loaned out to Barry last season, signed a permanent deal to rejoin the club last week.

Other recent arrivals have included ex-Afan Lido forward Ieuan Owen and midfielder Ryan Kavanagh, who has also moved from Cardiff City's youth ranks, led by former Barry boss Gavin Chesterfield.

But on the field, Barry remain without a win in their first four league outings this season as they prepare to face a Flint Town United side who have yet to register their first point since returning to the top flight.

Kick off at Jenner Park is at 2.30pm.
