Bala Town midfielder Lassana Mendes has joined Flint Town United after spending last season with the Lakesiders. The 33-year-old, who featured for Bala in the 2025/26 campaign, is set to reunite with manager Lee Fowler, who believes he can help the Silkmen return to their best form. Last result: Bala Town 1-2 Briton Ferry (2026-04-18).
What does Fowler expect from Mendes?
Flint Town United boss Lee Fowler is confident he can get the best out of Mendes, who he describes as a 'maverick' with a 'massive personality.' The manager believes the midfielder can recapture his form from four seasons ago, when he was one of the league's standout players. 'The last couple of seasons have seen a drop-off, but I think we can get him back to that,' Fowler said.
Why did Mendes leave Bala Town?
Mendes' departure comes as Flint Town United look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season. The midfielder's experience and leadership are seen as valuable additions to the Silkmen's lineup. Meanwhile, Bala Town will need to regroup after losing a key player, especially after their recent form of 1W-0D-4L (LLWLL).
What's next for Bala Town?
With the new season just two days away, Bala Town will need to focus on rebuilding their squad. The Lakesiders will be looking to bounce back from their recent struggles and make a strong start to the 2026/27 campaign. Their last result, a 1-2 loss to Briton Ferry, highlights the need for improvement.
