Cardiff City midfielder Alex Moore is a prime candidate for a Cymru Premier loan move, with the transfer deadline set for 11 pm on Tuesday, September 1. The 19-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Colwyn Bay, is one of eight young talents from Welsh EFL clubs identified by clwbpeldroed.org as needing regular first-team football.
Colwyn Bay finished a solid 5th in the Cymru Premier last season, amassing 45 points from 32 games. Their campaign, which ended with a recent form of LDLDW, saw them score 41 goals while conceding 37. The club now looks ahead to its next competitive fixture, a home match against Cambrian & Clydach on October 30, as detailed on our fixtures page.
Why is Alex Moore a strong loan candidate?
Alex Moore proved his value during his previous stint with the Seagulls. The technically capable midfielder is comfortable operating both in a deep role and further forward, bringing a quality touch in the final third. He is described as a mature and classy player with strong abilities on the ball and significant defensive contributions. For a player of his age and potential, consistent, regular first-team minutes are now essential for his development, making a return to the Cymru Premier a logical step.
Which other Cardiff City players need a move?
Cardiff City has two other young forwards who could seek loan opportunities. Dan Ola is a 19-year-old striker who stands 6ft 4in tall and has progressed through the club's academy to the Under-21 side. He registered an assist on his senior debut, showing early promise. Fellow 19-year-old forward Jake Davies has one first-team appearance to his name and is in the final year of his contract, adding urgency to his need for competitive experience.
What do Swansea City have to offer?
Swansea City also has prospects who could thrive in the Welsh top flight. Seb Dabrowski is a 20-year-old attack-minded full-back whose loan spell at Chippenham Town was cut short last season after just two games due to a hip injury. Another option is Josiah Kallicharan, an 18-year-old Trinidad and Tobago U20 international striker who joined the Swans last summer. The 6ft 4in forward, who has featured for both the U18s and U21s, is described as a physical striker with a clinical touch.
Who could Wrexham and Newport County send?
Wrexham's academy captain, Oliver McTweed, received his first professional contract this summer. The 18-year-old midfielder is strong going forward and defensively, comfortable on both feet, and poses a threat from set pieces and long range. Newport County has two candidates. Harri Pugh, an 18-year-old midfielder who featured in pre-season for the first team, is capable as either a holding or box-to-box midfielder. Morgan Alexander-Walker is a 19-year-old forward who featured ten times on loan at Bath City last season, registering one assist. He is noted for being pacey, direct, energetic, a capable finisher, and for using his low centre of gravity effectively.
With the deadline fast approaching, these eight players represent a pool of talent that could significantly bolster Cymru Premier squads. For Colwyn Bay, who ended the 2025 season 35 points behind champions The New Saints, integrating a known quantity like Alex Moore or another promising youngster could be a strategic move. Fans can track any incoming squad changes on our dedicated squad page. The club's next match is scheduled for October 30 at home against Cambrian & Clydach.
