Their six-point deduction sees them bottom of the table but they will be docked 135 more points if they field an ineligible player before the end of the 2024-25 season. A transfer ban has also been placed on the club until January 2025.

The club’s offences are thought to include a failure to make payments for monies owed for new players and a failure to register players properly.

Pontypridd United said they will defend themselves “robustly” before the FAW’s panel ruled against them.
