Gareth Powell had also managed Cefn Druids who helped the club steadily consolidated in the Cymru Alliance, helped by a renewed youth policy who strolled to the 1998–99 Cymru Alliance championship, scoring over 100 goals in the process.

In 1996, Brymbo merged with neighbouring village team New Broughton F.C.

New Broughton had a good, experienced Committee and were financially sound, but their playing facilities (which were Council owned) did not reach the standards set for a higher level of football.

Brymbo, however, had excellent facilities but were lacking experience and expertise in key off-field positions and were financially insecure.
