The New Saints are a Welsh football club with a distinctive cross-border identity, representing the Llansantffraid and Oswestry communities while competing in Wales’s top domestic system. Founded in 1959, the club has developed a professional profile and a strong European presence. Its modern home at Park Hall reflects that infrastructure, while the green-and-white visual tradition remains central to the club’s character. This team page brings together the squad, coaching chronology, recent player movement, competition record and a concise account of TNS history and footballing culture.

Last The New Saints Coachs
The latest recorded coaching appointment is Craig Harrison, who began a spell on 1 August 2022. The available chronology does not confirm that this open-ended entry remains the current role holder, so the position is described neutrally. Anthony Limbrick’s tenure ran from April 2021 to August 2022, following Scott Ruscoe from May 2017 to March 2021. Harrison had also led the club from December 2011 until May 2017. These entries trace a period featuring Harrison’s return after Ruscoe’s tenure.

Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, the recorded movement shows several kinds of squad change rather than a single transfer pattern. The 2026 arrivals include a cluster of free-agent entries, alongside players returning from loans, while the departure list contains free-agent exits, a loan return to Cardiff and loans to other clubs. Some names appear in more than one movement category across different dates: Isaac Jefferies is recorded as returning to Cardiff in January before later appearing as a New Saints arrival, and S. Bradley, J. Canavan and B. Woollam have both loan-related and return entries. The samples also cover activity from 2025 and early 2026, so they provide chronological context without establishing a complete seasonal balance. No recorded fee is attached to the listed movements, and the available entries do not support a total for all arrivals or departures.
Leagues The New Saints has participated in
Recorded participation covers the Premier League, League Cup and Welsh Cup through 2025, alongside Friendlies Clubs, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa Conference League entries that also run through 2025. These are the most recent competitions in the available record and indicate the club’s domestic and European reach, but they do not by themselves establish a 2026 fixture list. UEFA Europa League participation is recorded through 2024 and is therefore historical here. The Challenge Cup, with entries ending in 2023, is also historical. The competition history spans league football, domestic cups and recurring European qualifying campaigns.
More about The New Saints
The New Saints, commonly known as TNS, are a Welsh football club with an unusual cross-border identity. The club represents Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain in Wales and Oswestry in Shropshire, England, while competing within the Welsh football pyramid. The club traces its roots to 1959 through Llansantffraid FC. The present organisation took shape through the 2003 merger of Llansantffraid and Oswestry Town, joining Welsh football tradition with an English regional history. Its official name, The New Saints of Oswestry Town & Llansantffraid Football Club, preserves that union, while the TNS abbreviation links the modern club to its former Total Network Solutions identity.
Park Hall in Oswestry is the club’s home. The modern ground and synthetic playing surface fit a professional infrastructure built around regular football, community use and the demands of European competition. Green is the defining colour of the home identity, commonly paired with white and historically expressed through hoop or striped designs. The crest’s cross-border symbolism reinforces the visual connection between both sides of the club’s history.
TNS compete in the Cymru Premier, Wales’s top flight, and have established a reputation as one of its leading clubs. Their recorded competition history includes the Welsh Cup, League Cup and Premier League, alongside repeated participation in UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League pathways. That European presence has made the club an important representative of Welsh football beyond the domestic calendar.
The New Saints operate as a full-time professional organisation, a structure that has historically distinguished them from many semi-professional rivals. Long-term private ownership, financial stability and investment in an academy pathway are recurring features of the club’s modern model. The football culture combines domestic ambition with cross-border identity, professional standards and a sustained European focus. TNS therefore occupy a distinctive place in the game: a Welsh league power whose home is in England, shaped by merger, modern infrastructure and an enduring green-and-white tradition.
