Four potential WPL signings

With just one final Welsh Premier League game to play, the managerial and player merry-go-round is oiling up to get moving.
It is the time of year where players fancy another challenge, or a crack at Europe with a qualifying club.
Last year we saw a flock of players moving in bulk, like a pack of wolves from one South Wales club to another, and it remains to be seen if that happens again.
But as clubs announce departures and contract signings, I have been looking at four players from lower leagues who could make an impact in Wales' top division.

Darren Thomas - Caernarfon Town
Thomas has been a prolific goalscorer throughout his career, and even got himself among the nominations for goal of the season in Wales this year.
The forward bagged 14 goals for the Canaries this campaign after he was released by Porthmadog in 2013.
He has had previous experience of the top flight with Llangefni Town, and judging by performances this season, he could be an asset for a WPL side.

John Owen - Caersws
The Pwllheli based midfielder come striker Owen joined the Bluebirds from Porthmadog in 2014, and once caught the eye as a youngster on Bangor City's books but left to join Port.
Has been prolific in Caersws' front line bagging 16 goals which could make him a possible target for WPL clubs, and maybe a move back to Bangor could be on the horizon, with their strikers struggling to find the net last season.

Jamie McDaid - Caernarfon Town
McDaid returned to the Canaries in August 2014 after a spell with Bangor where he notched just twice in 31 appearances.
He had a previous spell at The Oval, as well as at Holyhead Hotspur but on returning to Lee Dixon's side last summer, he grabbed 22 goals in a season which saw his side finish runners up.
He has again proven himself at Alliance level, and that impressive goal tally is sure to put him on the radar of WPL clubs.

Ross Frame - Llanfair United
43 goals in one season speaks for itself I think.
Frame, a former Guilsfield striker, has lit up the Spar Mid Wales league this season, as he led the way for Llanfair United to gain promotion to the Huws Gray Alliance.
The forward, who had a highly successful spell in USA playing for Carson Newman, has been on the radar of Newtown before, and could potentially be a great signing for them this summer.
People raise questions when players jump two leagues, but look at Tom Goodwin, Llanidloes to Newtown and this years Robins player of the season.
The Mid Wales marksman could potentially be a top signing for the Robins or Aberystwyth this summer.
