CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT | LEE JOHN RETURNS TO LLANELLI TOWN AFC Llanelli Town AFC are delighted to announce the return of Lee John to the club. Lee returns to Stebonheath Park having previously guided the Reds to promotion to the JD Cymru Premier, before departing midway through last season. Following his departure, Lee took up a position at Afan Lido, but after positive discussions with the club this week, he has made the decision to return to familiar surroundings and take on a new challenge with the Reds. During those discussions, Lee made his feelings clear, stating that he has “unfinished business” at Llanelli Town AFC. Having already enjoyed success with the club, Lee knows exactly what it means to represent Llanelli Town, the expectations that come with the role, and the passion of the supporters. His return marks the beginning of a new chapter, with everyone at the club looking forward to working together as we aim to move forward and build for the future. Lee’s first game back in charge will be on Friday, 30th October, when the Reds travel to face Pontypridd United. We encourage all our supporters to get behind Lee and the team as we begin this next chapter together.
