GAP Connah S Quay FC’s former goalkeeper Kit Margetson has completed a move to Manchester United after impressing during his loan spell in the Cymru Premier. The 19-year-old, who spent time with the Nomads in the 2023-24 season, has now signed for the Premier League giants, marking a rapid rise for the young Welsh talent. GAP Connah S Quay FC currently sit 5th in the Premier League with 6 points from 3 games (2W-0D-1L), showcasing strong form with a +7 goal difference and just 3 points behind leaders Llandudno.
How did Margetson catch Man Utd’s eye?
During his loan at GAP Connah S Quay FC, Margetson made a significant impact, contributing five assists from his goalkeeper position-a rare feat for a shot-stopper. His ability to play out from the back and deliver precise long-range passes drew attention from scouts, including Manchester United’s Tony Coton, who reportedly watched him during a match against The New Saints in March 2024.
What role did lockdown play in his development?
Margetson’s father, Martyn, a former goalkeeper coach for Swansea City and Wales, played a key role in his son’s development. During the COVID-19 lockdown, the pair trained together daily, focusing on long-range kicking and tactical awareness. This period coincided with a growth spurt for Kit, who transformed from a young prospect into a physically imposing goalkeeper capable of influencing play from the back.
What’s next for GAP Connah S Quay FC?
With Margetson now at Manchester United, GAP Connah S Quay FC will look to build on their strong start to the season. Their next fixture is an away match against The New Saints on 30 October 2026, currently 4th in the table. The Nomads will aim to continue their positive form and close the gap on league leaders Llandudno.
