Haverfordwest County AFC sign midfielder Tyrese Owen
Haverfordwest County AFC have completed the signing of midfielder Tyrese Owen on a one-year deal. The 23-year-old arrives from Slough Town in the Vanarama National League South, adding physicality and technical ability to the Bluebirds' midfield. Owen, who stands at 6ft 6in, netted 10 goals in 33 appearances for Kingstonian last season, helping them retain their place in the seventh tier of English football.
What does Owen bring to Haverfordwest County AFC?
Owen's versatility is a key asset for manager Tony Pennock. Capable of playing in midfield or defence, he offers a physical presence and technical ability. His experience in the English non-league, including spells at Hemel Hempstead Town and Haringey Borough, will be invaluable as Haverfordwest prepare for their first European campaign in 19 years. With the team currently 14th in the Premier League, 0 points from 1 game, Owen's arrival could provide a much-needed boost.
Why is this signing important?
Haverfordwest lost some experience this summer, and Owen's arrival helps to rectify this. His height and ball-carrying ability make him a valuable addition to the squad. Manager Tony Pennock praised Owen's attitude and commitment, highlighting his time in Sweden as a testament to his dedication. With the next fixture against Ammanford AFC on 30th October 2026, Owen will have time to settle in and make an impact.
What comes next for Haverfordwest County AFC?
The Bluebirds are gearing up for their first European campaign in 19 years. With Owen joining the squad ahead of pre-season preparations, the focus will be on building a competitive team. The signing of Owen is a step in the right direction, and fans will be eager to see how he performs in the upcoming season.
