NEWLY-appointed director of football Gary Proctor has vowed Cwmbran Town will recruit more local players in time for the 2008-09 campaign.

Following last season's relegation from the top-flight Principality Welsh Premier League, the Crows appointed Spaniard Guillermo Ganet as their new manager.

Ganet packed his squad with a load of London-based players with the team going to the top of the MacWhirter Welsh League Division One table after a 2-0 away win over Gwent rivals Caldicot Town on October 6.

However, matters quickly turned sour from that point with Ganet eventually having to recruit a whole new bunch of London-based players.

As a result, the Crows have plunged from top to 13th place following an horrendous run.

Cwmbran moved to promote Proctor from being Ganet's assistant and stressed in a statement that the former La Liga midfielder is still in charge of team affairs. The club also said Proctor's appointment will help build unity within the club.

"The club has decided to restructure for next season and I believe we also need to get local talent back playing at this club, it's something I have emphasised to the committee," said Proctor.

Carolynn Purcell, the local businesswomen who unsuccessfully attempted to take over Cwmbran 18 months ago, has joined the club's committee.
