Aldershot Town captain Ryan Hill has departed the club to join Welsh Premier League side Penybont for an undisclosed fee. Hill had a memorable year-long stint with the Shots, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists. As of the end of the season, Aldershot Town sits 20th in the National League with 46 points, 13W-7D-26L from 46 games, and a recent form of LLLLL.

What happened?

The Shots skipper joined the club from Dagenham & Redbridge in June 2025 and was handed the captain's armband in October. He retained the role for the remainder of the season, contributing to the team's efforts.

Why it matters for Aldershot Town

Hill's departure comes as a significant loss for the team, given his impressive performances and leadership on the pitch. His ability to play in nearly every outfield position made him a valuable asset to the club.

What comes next?

Aldershot Town manager Scott Davies expressed his understanding of Hill's decision, citing the player's contract situation and his desire for a new challenge. Davies said: 'Ryan and his representatives have kept me in the loop with any interest along the way and this move to Penybont was one that he wanted to explore.' The club has wished Hill all the best in his future endeavors, as he moves on to Penybont. With the new season approaching, Aldershot Town will look to rebuild and strengthen their squad, following a disappointing end to the last season, including a 0-2 loss to Truro City on 2026-04-25.
