 Connah's
Quay Nomads have clinched the signing of ex-Wrexham star
Gareth Owen.
The 31 year old central
midfielder signs from Doncaster Rovers, whom Owen captained to
promotion from the Nationwide Conference.
Owen,
whose father Don won the Welsh Cup with the Deesiders in 1952,
brings a wealth of experience to the Nomads midfield and will
link up with several ex-Wrexham team-mates at the Deeside
Stadium.
Club secretary, Bobby
Hunter, told the 'Evening Leader', 'This is a tremendous scoop
for us as a club as far as I am concerned. Gareth is a local
lad with ties to the club and I am sure that he will be a
great addition.'
