Haverfordwest County AFC is excited to announce that defender Kyle McCarthy has agreed to a new one-year contract extension with the club. Having recently completed his second season with the Bluebirds, McCarthy has made a significant impact, amassing a total of 63 appearances. His experience, with over 200 games in the JD Cymru Premier prior to joining Haverfordwest County AFC, has been invaluable in guiding a young squad both on and off the pitch.
The 32-year-old played crucial roles in key matches, including both legs of the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round against Floriana last July. Despite facing injury challenges at the beginning of the domestic season, he maintained a consistent performance throughout the campaign. McCarthy is the latest player to commit to Haverfordwest County AFC for the upcoming 2026-27 season, joining several teammates who have also signed extensions.
Manager Tony Pennock expressed his satisfaction with the contract extension, highlighting McCarthy's remarkable consistency and calming influence within the squad. He emphasized the importance of McCarthy's experience, especially as younger players begin their journeys with the club. Pennock noted that the team's struggles early in the season were evident without McCarthy's presence.
In his own words, Kyle McCarthy shared his gratitude towards the club for the opportunity to continue his journey with Haverfordwest County AFC. He expressed excitement about building on the progress made towards the end of the previous season. As the club looks forward to the next campaign, McCarthy's role will be pivotal in the development of the squad.
