Keston Davies Signs for Barry Town United

We are pleased to confirm the signing of centre-back Keston Davies ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The 28-year-old defender brings a wealth of Cymru Premier experience to Jenner Park. Known for his composure on the ball, aerial presence, and strong positional sense, Keston adds real steel and calm to the heart of the Barry defence.

Having played for a number of top Welsh clubs, Keston arrives with the pedigree and mentality to make an instant impact.

Keston said:
“I’ve always admired Barry from a distance – the club’s history, the fans, the way they play. When I spoke to the staff, it just felt like the right fit straight away. I’m here to help push this team forward and give everything.”

Head of Football, Steve Jenkins, was equally pleased to secure Davies’ signature.

“Keston reads the game so well and brings a calmness to the back line. On top of that, he’s a top professional and a great character to have around the dressing room. He’s exactly the type of player we’ve been looking for.”

Keston is now part of a growing squad as Barry look to build momentum and compete strongly this season.

Welcome to Jenner Park, Keston!
