Briton Ferry Llansawel have lost another promising prospect to the English football pyramid. Kian Jenkins has joined Torquay United, who compete in the National League South, the sixth tier of English football. The young defender has signed a two-year contract with the Gulls as he takes the next step in his career.
What happened?
Jenkins arrived at Old Road in the summer of 2024 following his departure from Swansea City. He was a key figure for Briton Ferry Llansawel last season, making 34 appearances in all competitions, contributing four goals and five assists as the Reds narrowly missed out on a Cymru Premier European Play-Off place.
Why it matters for Briton Ferry
The departure of Jenkins is a significant blow to Briton Ferry Llansawel, who have been trying to hold on to their talented young players. The club has seen several members of their squad linked with interest from other clubs, including Ollie Anderson, who has been linked with Wolves.
What comes next?
Briton Ferry Llansawel's transfer business has largely involved players moving between clubs within the Cymru Leagues. The first arrival at Old Road was Luke Bowen, who joined from league rivals Trefelin after playing a key role in their Cymru South title-winning campaign. Matt Chubb also arrived from Cardiff Met, while Joe Lloyd and Tristan Jenkins completed a double move from Llanelli Town.
