Speaking on the re-signing Jack after a short spell away, Paul Michael said:

"When a player of Jack’s calibre becomes available you have to take that opportunity, he’s a fantastic player and his record in his spells with us is fantastic. All our supporters know just how good he is and I know he’ll compliment the other players we have at the club.

Lets be honest, Jack shouldn’t be playing at this level but he’s shown a desire to return to an environment he enjoys. Jack enjoys being a part of Merthyr Town and playing with these players, connecting with our supporters and playing within our philosophy as a team, that is something that makes me very proud of what we are doing at the club. I believe Jack and a number of the boys are top players at this level, and it is now up to us to go and prove that.”

Everyone at Merthyr Town Football Club is delighted to welcome Jack back to the Martyrs, and look forward to seeing him back in action at Penydarren Park!
