Caernarfon Town have launched a fundraising appeal to build a new stand in memory of the late Wyn Davies.

The Cymru Premier club says it's aiming to raise £50,000 to build a 600-seater stand at The Oval, named after the Caernarfon-born Wales forward, who died last year at the age of 83.

The Cofis qualified for the UEFA Conference League for the second time in three years after winning the Welsh Cup for the first time in their history in April.

Last season, Caernarfon played their home games at Maesdu Park in Llandudno while redevelopment work has been taking place at its Oval ground.

The club says its latest project is part of a wider programme of investment, reflecting its growing ambitions and recent successes.

Affectionately nicknamed 'Wyn the Leap', Wyn Davies earned 34 caps for Wales and scored seven goals in a decade-long international career.

He also played more than 550 Football League games between 1960 and 1978, including spells at Wrexham, Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Manchester City and Manchester United.

His family said: "Having the new stand named after Wyn would be a great honour and a fitting tribute to him."

"We are incredibly proud and very thankful to the club for their hard work on this."

As part of plans for the new stand, the club is also offering fans the chance to buy personalised plaques on seats and in the wall to honour the memory of a loved one or dedidcate a message to someone special.

Club chairman Paul Evans said: "We feel that Wyn and his family deserve recognition for all that he achieved and the attention he brought to our town."

"He's an inspiration to young players and we want his name and legacy to live on through the Wyn Davies Stand so we're asking anyone able to contribute by purchasing a plaque on a seat or on 'Wyn's Wall' to please do so, not only to enable us to make this tribute a reality but also to ensure that we can play big European matches right here at The Oval in Caernarfon."
