JOCK LOOKING TO ENSURE PROGRESSION FOR NOMADS

After the euphoria of Wales' Euro 2016 campaign, the attention switches back to club football as former Plymouth Argyle central defender Andy 'Jock' Morrison looks to guide Gap Connah's Quay Nomads into the third qualifying round of the Europa League.

The Nomads trail Serbian side Vojvodina 1-0 after the first leg in Novi Stad, and the second leg on Thursday, 21 July at Rhyl's Belle Vue promises to be a keenly fought contest.

Following the exits of Bala Town and Llandudno, the Nomads are now the only Welsh representatives remaining in their competition and an encounter with Belarussian side Dynamo Minsk or St Patricks Athletic awaits them in the third qualifying round should they progress.

Morrison started his career with the Pilgrims in 1987, after making his debut against Aston Villa, and remained at Home Park until 1993 when he joined Blackburn Rovers.

He combines his role with the Nomads with his work as a Fan Ambassador with Manchester City, the club where he finished his playing career in 2002.
