Two Added to Martyrs Squad for 2023/24

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Merthyr Town have announced the signings of Tom Stokes and Aneurin Livermore.

Stokes and Livermore are both graduates of League Two side Newport County AFC’s academy.

Stokes, 18, joined Newport at a very young age and has been a mainstay in their academy teams over the last few years.

Following a successful spell within the academy set-up, the 18-year-old featured in the matchday squad of several first-team games last season.

Livermore is another talented individual who progressed through the Exiles ranks.

The 20-year-old made his first start for Newport in a 3–1 EFL Trophy defeat to Plymouth Argyle and made his Football League debut for the Exiles in September 2021 as a second half substitute in the 2-2 League Two against Leyton Orient.

Following a successful spell at the Exiles, the midfielder was called up to represent the intermediate age groups of Cymru, featuring for the Wales under-19 squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 championship qualifying matches in Norway against Georgia, Norway and Kosovo in October 2021.

After his release from County at the end of 2021/22 season, he signed for National League North outfit Hereford in February 2023, but only made one appearance during the remainder of the season.
