Wide man becomes AFC Fylde’s latest arrival after National League promotion

AFC Fylde’s squad building ahead of the new National League season has continued with the signing of Dylan Allen-Hadley.

The 23-year-old winger has moved to Mill Farm following the end of his contract with AFC Telford United.

Allen-Hadley featured in both National League North games between Fylde and Telford in 2025/26, which ended with the Coasters winning on each occasion.

He told Fylde’s website: “I’m excited to be joining a club like this.

“It’s a great atmosphere around the place and the facilities are amazing, so I’m feeling really positive.

“The two games we played against Fylde last season were definitely the two toughest and the style of play was something I thought would really suit me.”

Allen-Hadley scored 10 goals in 35 NLN games this season and offers another goalscoring option out wide following the departure of Jon Ustabasi.

Fylde head coach Craig Mahon added: “We’re delighted to have added Dylan into the group.

“Dylan is someone we have watched all season and we thought he showed real potential during his time with Telford.

“Coming into a full-time environment, we feel he is only going to improve, and hopefully we can help him reach his full potential during his time at AFC Fylde.”

The Coasters have also confirmed a home pre-season friendly against Wigan Athletic.

That will be played on Saturday, July 25 (3pm): a fortnight after they welcome Blackpool to Mill Farm.

A further home pre-season game scheduled for July 18 is due to be announced in the coming days.

Mahon’s players will also travel to Hyde United (July 14), Longridge Town (July 21), Morecambe (July 28) and Warrington Rylands (August 1).
