Connah's Quay Nomads (Parent Club)Biography
Attack minded midfielder Brad Barnes joined Denbigh Town on loan from Connah's Quay Nomads in July 2025.
Born in Macclesfield, Barnes came through the academy system at Stoke City before his departure in 2022. He went on to join Connah’s Quay Nomads at Under-16s level and quickly rose through the ranks in Flintshire.
At 18 he appeared in the squad for Nomads’ first team for the first time when named as a substitute away at Briton Ferry Llansawel in the Welsh top flight. A month later he made his debut as a second-half substitute at home to Caernarfon Town in the Nathaniel MG Cup, making an instant impact by bagging an assist for the winner in a 3-2 success. He’d feature once more in the competition in a defeat to Aberystwyth Town.
In July 2025 he looked to continue his development by joining Denbigh on loan.
