Cardiff City are a club mired in unresolved issues just a week before a new era begins . . . but on the field there is a spark of hope, says Ian Mitchelmore.

The death of Joey Jones this week has reminded us that football can inspire people to heroic - and unforgettably funny - deeds that honour the game’s finest, as Ian Mitchelmore explains.

Wrexham have been busy - they have signed goalkeeper Danny Ward, forward Ryan Hardie, left-back Liberato Cacace, midfielder George Thomason, and now striker Josh Windass.

Wrexham have stepped up their summer recruitment and the man who joined them for a record fee reckons the momentum will continue.

He was the hard-as-nails full-back who played his heart out for Wrexham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Wales, so it's no surprise football is mourning the loss of Joey Jones.

Wrexham have made their fourth summer signing - Bolton midfielder George Thomason - as they gear up for life in the Championship.

Wrexham have been cautious in the transfer market so far this summer, but they are now starting to improve their squad with recent key moves.

Wrexham used to make little to no noise whatsoever in their pre-season activity, but now they are box office all over the world, as Ian Mitchelmore reports.

Penybont and Haverfordwest are both out of Europe, leaving The New Saints as the only Cymru Premier club still flying the flag.

There is usually no shortage of drama and incident when the Cymru Premier clubs enter European competition and so it proved again for Haverfordwest County.

First they came for Wrexham’s celebrity status, now Swansea City are after a slice of the global TV action, so get ready for the “Doggumentary.”

Wayne Hennessey, the man who did more than anyone to keep out Ukraine the night Wales qualified for the last World Cup, has hung up his gloves.

There was a bitter climax to The New Saints' Champions League qualification campaign, with an allegation of racist abuse directed at TNS forward Aramide Oteh, as Gareth James reports.

Wales have come a long way in recent years, but their time at Euro 2025 shows they still have a way to, go as Ian Mitchelmore reflects.

Wales’ Euro 2025 campaign has ended with three defeats, two goals scored and 13 conceded, but the lessons may be more lasting than the pain.

If Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds thought the rest of Wales was eager to get behind his Hollywood dream, then Swansea City have proved otherwise.

Wales will face their oldest enemy on Sunday in their final group game at Euro 2025 and Ffion Morgan is relishing the rivalry.

They are the most upwardly mobile team in British football, but Wrexham are currently Down . . . Down Under for their pre-season tour and as usual they have big plans.

Wales are all but out of Euro 2025, but that’s not even half of the story. They have scored their first goal at a major tournament finals and gave a much improved display before losing to France.

The harsh world of elite tournament football means another defeat for Wales on Wednesday, when they face France, is likely to end any hopes of progress at Euro 2025.
