Holyhead Hotspur - Season Update 2026/2027
Domestically another season with us predicted to finish last in the league saw us defy expectations and finish runners up and earn me Manager of the Year. But in Wales there is TNS and then everyone else. TNS finished 30 points clear of us and had the title wrapped up in January. It's going to be a long road to beating TNS.
In Europe we beat Lithuanian side Zalgiris and Irish side Bohemians to reach the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Europa League. We were then soundly beaten by Czech side Banik Ostrava. The run in the Europa League yielded some much needed funds that saw the club upgrade the training facilties plus both Youth Recruitment and Youth Coaching.
League Table
Youth Intake
The improvements to the youth setup led to a better youth intake and some badly needed defenders. Centre Back Rhys James goes straight into the centre of defence as a star player at the club which is fantastic but we are going to need a lot more players like him in the intakes.
Squad
The squad some more depth now but is severly lacking in quality in many areas. We need to improve the youth intakes to try to catch TNS and to make any kind of meaningful progress in Europe.
Finances
Even after the money spent on upgrades there's still a good amount of money in the coffers.
Transfers
No transfers.
