What happened: Bangor FC have confirmed that striker Ben Arthurs will return to the club for pre-season training after being suspended in April. The forward missed the final matches of the 2025-26 NIFL Premiership campaign due to an internal disciplinary matter.
Why it matters: The return of the club's leading scorer is a significant boost for the Seasiders following their successful survival campaign. Arthurs has finished as the team's top goalscorer in every season since joining in 2018 and remains vital to the club's attacking depth.
By the numbers: Arthurs recorded 11 goals during the 2025-26 Premiership season. Bangor finished 10th in the standings, securing their top-flight status for another year in their first season back in the Premiership.
What to watch: Arthurs will rejoin the squad for the start of summer training sessions. The club is expected to announce its full pre-season schedule in the coming weeks.
