We are delighted to announce the signing of 22-year-old midfielder Ryan Stratulis. Ryan has experience of playing in the Cymru Premier with Connah’s Quay Nomads in the 2022-23 and 2023-24. He played a role in their 2023-24 Welsh Cup run that ultimately saw them beat TNS in the final, scoring one of their goals in a 4-1 win against Caernarfon Town in the second round of the tournament.
During his time with the Nomads, Ryan made 36 appearances during which he scored five goals and contributed seven assists. Of these goal contributions, one stands out as being particularly memorable. Last season, our new signing was the scorer of the Cymru Premier’s goal of the season. He found the net from inside the centre circle with a well-placed chipped effort that went over the Haverfordwest goalkeeper when playing for Connah’s Quay Nomads. The video of this award-winning strike can be watched on YouTube by clicking here.
Prior to playing for the Nomads, our new signing was - like our manager Michael Johnston - an academy player at Tranmere Rovers. Johno has expressed his satisfaction at completing the signing of a player who he feels will add to our squad:
"Ryan is a fantastic player who can play anywhere in midfield or the forward line. He has bags of quality and it is definitely a coup for us to sign him. He has a good pedigree as not so long ago he was a professional at Tranmere. He’s got valuable experience at Cymru Premier level and will demand and drive standards for us."
