Penybont signed Jonathan Leko on a free transfer from MK Dons. Leko joined Penybont aged 27, bringing his experience from 17 League Two appearances for MK Dons last season.
What Leko brings to Penybont
Leko made 23 first-team appearances for West Brom, with 14 in the Premier League, and scored one senior goal for the club. He also had loan spells at Bristol City and Charlton Athletic, as well as further loan stints at MK Dons, Addicks, and Burton Albion. As reported by talksport.com, Leko represented England from Under-16 to Under-20 level and helped England qualify for the 2016 Under-17 Euros.
Leko's international experience
Leko's international career was marked by his contribution to England's qualification for the 2016 Under-17 Euros, although West Brom prevented him from featuring at the finals. He made his Premier League debut for West Brom against Sunderland at age 16 in April 2016.
Penybont's current form
Penybont are currently third in the Welsh top-flight after four matches of the season, with an unbeaten start of three wins and a draw so far in the league. They qualified for Europe this season after winning the Cymru Premier's Conference League play-off last term, finishing sixth in the regular season before securing their third-ever continental campaign. Penybont FC said: "We're delighted to announce the signing of Jonathan Leko."
What's next for Penybont
With Leko on board, Penybont will look to continue their strong start to the season, and their current league standing of 6th in the Premier League, with 11 points from 5 games, and a recent form of DWWWD, will be a key factor in their upcoming matches, including their next fixture vs Cardiff MET on 2026-10-30. They have scored 8 goals this season, with a goal difference of +5, and are 4 points behind leaders Barry Town.
