Ieuan Owen departs for Kilmarnock FC

Ieuan Owen has departed the club to join Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock FC for an undisclosed fee following the release clause in his contract being met.

Ieuan has agreed personal terms with Kilmarnock and will complete the move over the coming days.

During his time at the club, Ieuan made a huge impact and will be remembered fondly by everyone. His standout moment came in the Nathaniel MG Cup, where his two goals played a decisive role in securing the club’s first top-flight silverware in over two decades – an historic achievement that will long live in our memories. Ieuan appeared 74 time for the Town scoring 27 goals across his time here at the club and always bought into what it meant to be a Barry Town United player providing coaching sessions in our community and working closely with our academy age groups.

Whilst there is disappointment to see him move on, this transfer reflects the club’s continued commitment to developing young talent and supporting players when opportunities arise to progress into professional football.

Everyone at the club would like to thank Ieuan for everything he has given during his time here and wish him every success in the next stage of his career in the knowledge that Ieuan can always call Jenner Park, home.

Good Luck young man!

Smith Signs!

Barry Town United are thrilled to announce the signing of striker Daniel Smith ahead of the 2025/26 season – subject to international clearance.

The forward arrives at Jenner Park with a growing reputation for his sharp movement, cool finishing, and work ethic up top. A player who knows where the goal is and isn’t afraid to put in the hard yards for the team, Daniel adds firepower and hunger to Barry’s attacking line.

Daniel said:
“I’m buzzing to get started. Barry’s a big club with proper ambition. As a striker, you want to be part of a team that plays on the front foot, and that’s exactly what this is. I’m here to score goals and give everything for the badge.”

Head of Football, Steve Jenkins, is confident Smith will make an impact.

“Daniel’s a handful – he works defenders, makes clever runs, and knows how to finish. He’s got an edge in the final third that every team needs. We’re really happy to bring him in, and I think he’ll be a big player for us this season.”

Daniel becomes the latest addition to a growing squad at Jenner Park as Barry gear up for an exciting campaign ahead.

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!
