Young Player of the Season

Naturally a hit and miss affair, some of the winners of the Young Player trophy have gone on to great things for the club, while others never quite fulfilled their early promise.

Shaun Cunnington was the first winner of the young player award

Mark McGregor and Neil Roberts have won both this award and the senior version, and they were joined in 2009 by Marc Williams, who became the first to claim both in the same season.

Neil Taylor won the award and four Summers later was playing in the Olympics!

 Some real club legends, like Gareth Owen, Phil Hardy, Mark McGregor, Bryan Hughes and Mark Jones won the award, and Neil Taylor, Mark Jones and Craig Morgan went on to earn senior caps for Wales.
