Defender Greg Strong has signed for Rhyl. Strong, 32, made his first appearance for the Lilywhites in their friendly against Colwyn Bay.
Gregory Strong was born in Bolton on September 5, 1975 and is a former England schoolboy and youth international,
Strong started his footballing career with Wigan Athletic in 1992 and then moved to Bolton Wanderers, but after failing to establish himself in the first team he moved north of the border to play for Motherwell in 2000 for a £150,000 fee.
He returned to England in 2002 when he was signed up by Hull City. Strong also had loan spells with Cheltenham Town, Scunthorpe United, Bury and Macclesfield Town before moving north again to sign for Livingston in 2005.
The 6ft 2 defender was released in late 2006 from Dundee FC. On March 8, 2007, he was signed by Halifax Town and scored a goal on his debut for the Shaymen after just four minutes, but was released by the club at the end of the season, joining Northwich Victoria. Last season he wore the colours of Droylsden, a club which has fed Rhyl so many players in the past.
Rhyl will be his 17th senior club in a 16-year career.
