The New Saints have officially signed midfielder Dominic Corness from Liverpool, with the 22-year-old set to join the Cymru Premier champions when his Reds contract expires. The Scouser, a product of Liverpool’s Academy since age five, captained their U21s and featured in senior friendlies under Jürgen Klopp.
Who is Dominic Corness?
Dominic Corness progressed through Liverpool’s youth ranks, becoming a leader in their U21 side. He also earned senior call-ups, playing in 2022 friendlies against Olympique Lyonnais and AC Milan in Dubai. His recent loan spells at Yverdon Sport and Gillingham add valuable experience.
Why this move matters for The New Saints
The New Saints, fresh from a 1-1 draw with Glentoran on 2026-06-24, continue to strengthen their squad. Corness’s arrival bolsters midfield depth as the club targets another title. Their recent form stands at 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the last five matches (DWWWL).
What comes next?
Corness will link up with the Oswestry-based side ahead of their next fixture, an away trip to Penybont on 2026-08-02. The 15th-placed opponents will test The New Saints’ ambition as they push for consistency in the Cymru Premier.
