Colin Reynolds holds the league's all-time appearance record.
Colin Reynolds of Caersws became the first player to make 400 appearances in the Welsh Premier League when he was named against TNS on 29 January 2005.
His nearest challenger at the time, Andrew Rickard of Afan Lido, was forced to hang up his boots and became manager of Maesteg Park at the turn of the year.
Gary Lloyd, currently with Llanelli, became the second player to achieve the 400-mark when he played against Cardiff Grange Quins on 10 December 2005.
Caersws keeper Andy Mulliner and NEWI Cefn Druids' defender Timmy Edwards have also achieved the feat alongside Andrew Thomas, who has made all his starts for the same club - Caersws.

Welsh Premier legends

Football Leaguers

QUITE a few players have gone on from the Welsh Premier to play in the football league, notably Mark Delaney. The former Carmarthen Town captain moved to Cardiff City and then to Aston Villa, where he has secured a regular place in the Premiership and played for Wales.
The latest player to make the grade is Steve Evans, who moved from The New Saints to Wrexham in the summer of 2006 and quickly won his first full Welsh cap. He was joined a season later by Conall Murtagh from Rhyl.
