MALVERN Town have completed their first summer signing following the club’s promotion to Step Three.
Forward Jay Malshanskyj has joined the Hillsiders following a spell with Malvern’s former Southern League Division One South rivals Bishops Cleeve.
Malshanskyj has also turned out for the likes of Weston-super-Mare, Yate Town, Melksham Town and Taunton Town.
Malvern boss, Lee Hooper said: “We are so pleased to get Jay to agree terms with us.
“He is a player that we have tried to sign on numerous occasions as he has been one of the best attacking players in Step Four for a good few years now and has so much potential to push on again.
“We look forward to working with him and excited for what he will bring to the club.”
Malvern have also confirmed six players will depart the club following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
Piers Walton, Yuri Quintas, Jordan Annear, Eddie Lewis, Alex Bell and Luke Salter will all depart Malvern after helping the club win promotion to the Southern League Premier South.
However, Charlie Johnson, Luke Payne, Sam Clark, Lewis Platt, Matt Macdonald, Dion Molyneux, Harry Clark, Levi Francis, Ben Baxter, Joe Bullock, Matt Fulloway, Reece King, Joe Tumelty and Ryan Brunt have all agreed to remain at the HDAnywhere Community Stadium in 2026/27.
And the management team of Hooper, assistant Andy Bevan and first team coach Dean Rutter have all committed to the club next season.
