Elgan Jones, Colwyn Bay’s under-16 academy goalkeeper who passed away in March, is commemorated on the club’s new goalkeeper shirts.
His name is incorporated in the numbering on the goalkeeper shirts for the upcoming 2022/23 season.
It will be worn by goalkeepers of all the teams under the club’s umbrella.
The club wanted to pay tribute to Elgan and his family have given their blessing for his name to be included on the shirts.
