Seven players are leaving Barry Town United as preparations start to gather pace for next season.

12 players are staying on at Jenner Park - with the Cymru Premier club, under manager Andy Legg, expected to announce new signings in due course.

Chief among the departures is long-serving captain Kayne McLaggon, who bowed out last month after eight years.

The skipper scored 130 club goals from 247 appearances and won three trophies, including the 2022-23 Cymru South title.

Barry have also released goalkeepers Liam Armstrong and Luc Rees, along with centre-forward Sam Snaith, who scored six goals in 21 league games last season.

Another Jenner Park mainstay, midfielder Aiden Lewis, is also leaving the club, as well as defenders Josh Yorwerth and Harrison Bright.

Top scorer Ollie Hulbert leads the retained list published on Thursday, having scored 15 goals from 30 league appearances during the 2024-25 campaign.

Rising young star Ieuan Owen is also staying on for next season, after scoring eight goals in 27 games.

The rest of the retained list includes:

  • Mikey George
  • Callum Sainty
  • Will Richards
  • Rhys Schwank
  • Robbie Wilmott
  • Ben Margetson
  • Owen Cuddihy
  • Ellis Williams
  • Ryan Kavanagh
  • Eliot Richards

Barry also welcome back Drew Perrett and Callum Huggins from loan spells at Goytre United and Trethomas Bluebirds respectively.

The squad returns to training at the end of June ahead of their pre-season campaign, which begins at home to Newport City on Saturday 5th July.

A club spokesperson said: "We appreciate the effort and commitment from of all those players who are departing us."
