Flint Town United have moved early to strengthen their attack with the signings of forward Tunde Owolabi and midfielder Ben Woods ahead of the 2026-27 Cymru Premier campaign. Lee Fowler, the team’s manager, confirmed the arrivals after the Silkmen’s 2-0 win over Cymru North side Denbigh Town in their latest pre-season friendly on Saturday.

What’s new for Flint Town United?

Owolabi joins from FC United with a track record of goals in the Scottish Premiership and Irish League, while Woods arrives from Airbus. Fowler said: “Tunde has scored goals everywhere he’s been—Radcliffe, Macclesfield, Cork—and he’s kicked on since arriving here. He’s already bagged three in three games for us, though he still needs to sharpen his fitness over pre-season.”

The club’s last outing ended in a 2-2 draw at Cardiff MET on 18 April 2026, extending their winless run to five games. Their recent form reads 0W-2D-3L (DDLLL), with the most recent defeat coming at Airbus in May.

Why these signings matter

Owolabi’s arrival gives Flint Town United another proven finisher in attack, while Woods adds depth in midfield. Both players have experience in the Welsh pyramid and bring a mix of physicality and technical quality. The club’s pre-season schedule has seen them face Cymru North opposition, with the focus on fitness and match sharpness before the league curtain-raiser.

Fowler added: “He needs to find a home and someone to believe in him. We’ll back him, but he knows that means graft.” The manager’s words underline the club’s push to rebuild after a tough run of results last term.

What comes next for the Silkmen?

Flint Town United will continue their pre-season schedule with friendlies against Cymru Premier rivals. The squad’s fitness levels and tactical cohesion will be tested as they chase a stronger start than last season’s slump. The new signings will hope to hit the ground running when the league campaign resumes in August.

Last result: Cardiff MET 2-2 Flint Town United (2026-04-18).
