COLWYN BAY have completed their third new signing inside a week in time for Saturday's FA Trophy tie against Burton Albion.
He is midfielder Mike Garrity from Conference North side Vauxhall Motors.
HIs previous clubs include Altrincham and Witton Albion and he joins striker Lee Spike and defender Chris Taylor who signed earlier in the week.
All three will be in the squad for the Burton game, with at least five players ruled out by suspension, injuries or cup-tied, and the club also see the new additions as important to their promotion ambitions this season.
That remains the priority. The cup run is nice and is a boost financially, but manager director Darren Cartwright admits: "It is important for the club commercially and financially that we get out of the Unibond Division One South as soon as possible and into the Premier Division - and everything is geared at trying to achieve that."
The club's plans for the future now include a new youth academy and they have announced a fundraising scheme in partnership with The Utility Warehouse to help fund it.
Representatives of The Utility Warehouse' will be at the Burton Albion game and for supporters who sign up to the scheme there will be a donation of up to 5% of their utility bills made into the CBFC Youth Academy fund.
Darren Cartwright states: “Every football academy system requires funding and this is an ideal way for our supporters to contribute. Our supporters can also take advantage of the savings and special deals on offer. This is a very easy way to provide ongoing support.
The academy itself will benefit local talent in various age groups by improving their skills with quality coaching and by being tested against other academy sides. The ultimate goal is to produce players capable of playing in the Colwyn Bay FC first team and with the ability to move onto professional clubs.
