Haverfordwest County AFC have completed the signing of midfielder Cody Twose on a season-long loan from Cardiff City. The 20-year-old joins the Cymru Premier side for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign, as confirmed in a report from the club's official website this week.
Manager Tony Pennock moved to add the young Welsh prospect to a squad currently sitting 12th in the Premier League table with three points from six games. The Bluebirds have scored just twice this season while conceding twelve, leaving them with a -10 goal difference and fifteen points adrift of leaders Barry Town.
Who is Cody Twose?
Cody Twose is a 20-year-old midfielder who has been with Cardiff City since he was nine years old. He made his senior debut for the Championship club in August 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute in a Carabao Cup tie against Southampton. His first senior start followed in November 2025 during a 3-1 Vertu Trophy victory over Arsenal's under-21 side. Twose has also represented Cymru at various youth international levels.
Tony Pennock, the Haverfordwest County manager, welcomed the new arrival. "Cody is an exciting prospect who has been at Cardiff City since he was nine," Pennock said. The manager noted the player's versatility, stating he can operate throughout the midfield. This addition aims to address a team that has lost four of its last five matches, a run of form recorded as WLLLL.
How does he fit into the current squad?
Twose arrives to provide fresh options in the centre of the park for a team seeking to improve its league position. His immediate integration was positive, with the player scoring in a session with the club's U21 side. He expressed his enthusiasm after joining the group. "I’m excited to join the club. There’s good quality in the group," Cody Twose said. "Today’s session was really good, getting to know the boys, and I’m looking forward to taking it into the games now."
