Flint Town United have officially announced the signing of defender Harrison McGahey on a two-year contract, bolstering Lee Fowler’s squad ahead of the 2026/27 Cymru Premier season. The 30-year-old joins after a successful stint at The New Saints, where he won two league titles, a Welsh Cup and a League Cup.
Who is Harrison McGahey?
Harrison McGahey, a former Sheffield United defender, brings a wealth of experience to Flint Town United. Released by Chris Wilder in 2016, he went on to make over 130 League One appearances for Rochdale and later played for Scunthorpe United, Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers before moving to Wales.
Why this signing matters
McGahey’s leadership and defensive quality will be vital as Flint Town United aim to climb from their current 13th place in the Cymru Premier, with 0 points from 1 game and a goal difference of -1. His arrival follows a trophy-laden spell at The New Saints, where he was a key figure in their domestic dominance.
What’s next for Flint Town United?
The Silkmen’s next fixture is a home clash against Holywell on 30 October 2026, with Holywell currently 11th in the table. McGahey’s addition strengthens a squad looking to close the 3-point gap to leaders Colwyn Bay.
