The New Saints have released midfielder Jack Nadin, who is now a free agent. The 21-year-old's departure from the Cymru Premier champions was confirmed in a club statement this week.
Nadin joined The New Saints in the summer of 2025 after leaving Nottingham Forest, where he had spent over seven years in their academy system. He made 20 appearances for Forest's Premier League 2 side, contributing four goals and five assists, and also featured in three EFL Trophy group-stage fixtures. At Park Hall, Nadin made a total of 18 appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists. However, he did not feature in any Cymru Premier match-day squads this season and was subsequently de-registered from the club's European squad for their ties against Sabah in the Champions League and FC Flora in the Conference League.
Jack Nadin's time with The New Saints yielded a respectable return for a young midfielder adapting to senior football. His three goals and two assists came across his 18 appearances, which included involvement in domestic and European competitions. The club's official statement thanked him for his hard work during his stay. His departure comes as head coach Craig Harrison's side sits second in the Premier League, just two points behind leaders Barry Town, with a record of five wins and one draw from their opening six games.
Nadin's exit follows another squad adjustment involving a young player. Fellow 21-year-old Jacob Owen, who made 13 appearances for The New Saints and featured in a UEFA Conference League qualifier against Differdange, has joined Haverfordwest County on a season-long loan. Haverfordwest manager Tony Pennock will oversee his development. These moves occur while The New Saints maintain a strong league position, having scored 16 goals and conceded only three for a +13 goal difference.
The reigning champions are in a tight title race early in the season. With 16 points from six games, their recent form reads five consecutive wins. This solid foundation is important as they prepare for their next fixture, a home match against third-placed GAP Connah S Quay FC on October 31st. Fans can track the evolving standings as the season progresses. The team's defensive record, conceding just three times, has been a key factor in their strong start.
Manager Craig Harrison now has a slightly streamlined midfield group as the club continues competing on multiple fronts. The focus shifts immediately to maintaining their excellent early-season momentum. Their next challenge is a significant one at Park Hall against a Connah's Quay side also near the top of the table. All upcoming matches are listed on our fixtures page. The New Saints will aim to close the two-point gap to Barry Town when league action resumes.
