A group of six men have been issued with Football Banning Orders after admitting their involvement in violent disorder at a Wrexham match last year.
Harley Bagnall, 20, and Alfie Hughes, 19, both of Deva Way, Wrexham, Charlie Jones, 20, of no fixed address, Kian Roberts, 24, of Wavell Avenue, Wrexham, Cian Wain, 22, of Heol Y Goron, Leeswood, and Dion Williams, 23, of New Foundry Court, Johnstown, appeared at Mold Crown Court earlier this week.
The men had previously entered guilty pleas to the offences, which occurred prior to a Carabao Cup fixture against Cardiff City on 28 October 2025.
Prior to the match, the six men approached the Ironworks pub on Town Hill and began to behave aggressively before fighting with a group of Cardiff supporters.
During the incident, a bottle thrown by one of the six men also struck a security guard who was stood in the entrance to the pub.
All were subsequently arrested and charged with violent disorder.
At court, the following sentences were imposed by the judge:
- Harley Bagnall: 15 months in a young offenders institute, suspended for two years.
- Alfie Hughes: 12 months in a in a young offenders institute, suspended for two years.
- Charlie Jones: 15 months in a young offenders institute, suspended for two years.
- Kian Roberts: 11 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
- Cian Wain: 11 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
- Dion Williams, 12 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
Each of the defendants also received a four-year Football Banning order (FBO), which prohibits them from attending any football matches in the UK for the duration of the order.
They are also prevented from being within the vicinity of regulated stadia on matchdays and banned from entering any town or city where Wrexham AFC or the Wales national team are playing.
Superintendent Mark Williams said: “Violence and disorder have no place in football, and we will not tolerate behaviour that puts others at risk or undermines the safety and enjoyment of the game.
“The Football Banning Orders imposed by the court on these six individuals demonstrate the consequences of such actions.
“We will continue to work with our partners to identify offenders and ensure robust action is taken against those involved in football-related disorder.
“We remain committed to working closely with the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) and other partners to prevent violence, tackle anti-social behaviour and ensure football remains a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.”
