Player of the Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Breese – Holywell Town<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 34-year-old was a crucial part of Holywell Town earning promotion to the JD Cymru Premier as he delivered 24 goals and 14 assists in a superb campaign for Breese individually and for his team. The striker ends the season with the division’s golden boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Peers – Airbus UK Broughton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus UK Broughton were the top scoring team in the JD Cymru North this season and the form of George Peers played an important role in their return to the top division as they claimed the runners-up position. Peers scored 23 goals during the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kieran Smith \u2013 Llandudno<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience of Kieran Smith was crucial in the success enjoyed by JD Cymru North champions Llandudno this season. The 33-year-old arrived at the Go Goodwins Stadium last summer and helped his side deliver the joint-best defensive record in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manager of the Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Hadaway \u2013 Llandudno<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incredible coaching journey of Jordan Hadaway received national attention this month as the 24-year-old guided Llandudno to the JD Cymru North title with a five-point lead over nearest challengers Airbus UK Broughton. He is expected to be the youngest top division manager in Europe next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gari Lewis \u2013 Penrhyncoch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite not winning a single match in the JD Cymru North until the end of November, Penrhyncoch defied the odds in the second half of the season to avoid relegation. Six victories from their final eight games reversed their early season form to earn manager Gari Lewis his nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Moore – Rhyl 1879<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fifth-place finish in the JD Cymru North was complimented by Rhyl 1879 reaching the semi-finals of the JD Welsh Cup. Moore arrived at the Hops and Barley Community Stadium in November 2024 and recently agreed a contract extension to lead the club into the next two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Young Player of the Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kaiden Cooke – Airbus UK Broughton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teenager has been in excellent form for Airbus UK Broughton once again in what is now his third full season with the club in the JD Cymru North. Cooke made a personal contribution of nine goals and five assists as his side claimed promotion back to the top-flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler McManus – Airbus UK Broughton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defensive qualities of the 22-year-old Tyler McManus played a big part in Airbus UK Broughton achieving the joint-best defence in the JD Cymru North this season with champions Llandudno. McManus featured in 28 games for his club and provided nine assists in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connor Owen – Holyhead Hotspur<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excellent season has made Connor Owen the stand-out player for Holyhead Hotspur as the 21-year-old scored 17 goals following his arrival last summer from Gwalchmai. Owen brought the campaign to a close with his second hat-trick of the season in the 5-1 win over Buckley Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
