Cardiff City’s former defender Ben Margetson has made a move to Merthyr Town following his departure from Barry Town United. Margetson, who began his career at Cardiff, has been a standout player in the Cymru Premier, where he was named Barry Town's Players’ Player of the Season. His decision to join Merthyr Town comes after he initially agreed to a new deal with Barry but ultimately chose to pursue new opportunities. The signing is seen as a significant boost for Merthyr Town as they prepare for the upcoming season. Margetson's impressive record includes starting all 32 league matches last season and contributing to Barry's strong defensive performance, which saw them concede just 33 goals. His experience in senior football, combined with his academy training at Cardiff, positions him as a valuable asset for Merthyr Town. Manager Paul Michael expressed confidence in Margetson's abilities, highlighting his skills in both defense and ball control. This transfer marks the end of Margetson's three-year stint in the Welsh top flight, and he is expected to play a crucial role for the Martyrs as they aim for success in the new campaign.
