Google a guy called John Irving at Bala Town (Cant copy and paste on my phone)
Story says he's left Bala Town of Welsh League to play professional football in NZ
Surely Merrick not signing players from the Welsh League????
Welsh Premier League can't be that bad can it? He's a RB so that ticks a box. Bala town doesn't do too badly either apparently. And he is English not Welsh in case anyone doesn't like the Welsh for some reason. He's 24.

He recently scored in the dying minutes to send Bala town to a Europa League play off.
Edit. I retract my statement; Welsh Premier League must be pants if you would rather get released from your contract to play in NPL. How is going from Europa League play offs to NZ semi-pro a career advance. My head hurts now.
