Legg takes charge at Barry

Barry Town United have named Andy Legg as their new head coach.

The ex-Wales international takes over in the dugout from Steve Jenkins, who will stay on at Jenner Park as director of football and a first team coach.

Legg made more than 700 appearances during his club career, that took in spells at Swansea City, Cardiff City, Notts County and Birmingham City, scoring 72 goals and earning six international caps.

He moved into management with Hucknall Town in 2007, before a three-year stint at Llanelli began in 2009, when at the age of 42, he was part of the side that shocked Motherwell in Europa League qualifying.

A brief spell in charge of the now-defunct Bangor City in 2016 ended after just three months, before Legg returned to Stebonheath Park in November 2020, departing again a year later.

Legg, a well-known supporter of the argument to switch to summer football in Wales, takes charge with Barry seventh in the table after the league split and in pole position to secure a European play-off spot at the end of the season.

There's nine games of the season to go, starting with a home clash against Flint Town United on Saturday.

It's the second year in a row that Jenkins has departed the dugout mid-campaign to concentrate on his other duties at Jenner Park.

Former Pontypridd United manager Jonathan Jones took over for the Play Off Conference phase last season, before leaving the club during the summer.
