Haverfordwest County AFC is close to agreeing significant investment from a US-based investment fund. The club has been clear about its desire to raise investment to fulfil its ambition to make the move towards full-time football and competing in the latter stages of qualifying for Uefa competition. Talks have been ongoing with a party who buys in to the same vision. Since Edwards took over as Haverfordwest chairman in summer 2020, the club has had a remarkable rise. Established in the top-tier Cymru Premier, they have qualified for the Europa Conference League twice in three seasons and their academy side has also played in Europe. The Bluebirds have also built up a reputation as Welsh domestic football's most progressive clubs - current Club Brugge head coach Nicky Hayen had a spell in charge during the 2021-22 season. But with the Cymru Premier set for a revamp next season - with an increase from 12 to 16 teams - Edwards has recognised the need for further investment or a full takeover if the club is to remain competitive and challenging for Europe. Edwards' company Morley Sports Management Group recently took over Scottish League 1 club Hamilton Academical. That move was rapidly followed by Edwards saying the Scottish club is still at risk of being placed in administration but was confident insolvency could be avoided.
