Ferguson, the son of ex-Everton legend Duncan, started his career at the Everton Academy before signing for Tranmere Rovers as part of their scholarship programme. Thorn's father, Andy, was also an ex-professional player having made more than 100 appearances for both Wimbledon and Crystal Palace. Flintshire rivals, Connah's Quay Nomads, have added another new signing to their ranks. Twenty-year-old midfielder Ben Kershaw has arrived from Hyde United in the Northern Premier League. Boss John Disney told the club website: 'I am delighted to announce Ben has signed for us, a player I have kept tabs on whilst he has been playing at Stoke for two years but also someone that has developed in men's football the last 12 months with Hyde. 'Ben brings a freshness and very good technical ability to our midfield and one that will flourish in the Welsh premier league to kick us back into the top half of the league.'

Departing boss Corbisiero backs Aberystwyth to bounce back
ANTONIO Corbisiero has left relegated Aberystwyth Town by mutual consent. Corbisiero led the club to the Nathaniel MG Cup final but could not prevent the Seasiders losing their JD Cymru Premier status. Owing to ongoing uncertainty over the club's destination for the upcoming season in tier two, the decision was reached with the agreement of both parties to ensure that the club can prepare immediately for all eventualities. Until the remainder of the Welsh football season is completed the Seasiders remain in limbo over what league they will be placed in next season with the JD Cymru North and South viable options. A spokesman said: "The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Antonio for his dedication and commitment since returning to the club in November 2024. "The club wishes Corbs and his family the very best and extends a warm welcome back to Aberystwyth University Park Avenue Stadium in the future." Corbisiero thanked the club for the challenge and fans for their support during the club's worst league season in three decades. He said: "I'd like to thank everybody at the club for the opportunity of leading the team in the fight for survival this season - sadly, it wasn't to be and I'm gutted for everybody involved that relegation was the outcome. "My thanks go to the fans who have been with us all the way - especially the incredible support at the cup final in February. "It'd be fantastic to see that support week in, week out next season for a new manager to help get this club back to the JD Cymru Premier.
