Seagulls boss Craig Hogg has announced the signing of 16-year-old left back prospect Kian Owen from Bangor City.

The manager reported: "I'm really pleased Kian Owen is joining us.

"Kian is a Bangor lad who turns 17 in August. He  played a number of games for City last season and was recommended to me as a player of interest.

"He trained with us in week one of our pre-season preparations and carried himself very well indeed. For a young lad to come in and apply himself in the way he has done is commendable."

Craig added: "I met his parents last week and together we felt that Colwyn Bay is the right environment for him to be in, especially at such a very early stage of his development in senior football.

"We hope now that he grows as a player in his time with us and learns his trade whilst being around the positive and like-minded people we feel we have at the club.

"The focus now will be to support Kian with his development, as we are currently doing with Morgan Owen and some of the other young players we have at the club.

"With dedication to the sport and a great deal of hard work from all parties involved, we feel we could have some really good footballers on our hands and Kian could certainly be one of them."
