GAP Connah S Quay FC manager John Disney has warned that his players will attract interest from Football League clubs if they continue their strong performances. The Nomads opened their 2026-27 Cymru Premier campaign with a 3-1 derby win over Holywell Town last week, with goals from Harry Franklin, Hussein Mehasseb and an own goal securing the victory. League standing: 8th in Premier League, 3 pts, 1W-0D-1L from 2 games, recent form WL.
What did the manager say?
Disney believes that several of his players could be on the radar of higher-level clubs if they maintain their current form. He told the club: "I think there’s four or five players that, if they keep doing as well as they are and have done in Europe so far, and so far in the league, there’s going to be a lot of Football League clubs looking at a number of our players."
Why does this matter for GAP Connah S Quay FC?
The Nomads finished as runners-up last season and are aiming to challenge for the title again this year. Goals this season: 4 scored, 3 conceded (+1 goal difference). Title race: 3 points behind leaders Cardiff MET. However, Disney acknowledges that the club’s ambition to promote players while keeping them in the league is a delicate balance.
What’s next for the Nomads?
GAP Connah S Quay FC will look to build on their opening win when they host newly promoted Trefelin tonight. Disney expects a tough game, saying: "It will be a tough game. Myself and Jack (Disney) went to watch them against Colwyn Bay. So, we’d like to think we know what they’re about." Next fixture: vs The New Saints (away, 2026-10-30) (5th in the table).
