Newport County boost striking options with Crow and Charles

Newport County have bolstered their strike-force by signing strikers Danny Crow and Ryan Charles.

Ex-Norwich trainee Crow was released by Luton Town in May after scoring 16 goals in 40 starts while Charles makes his loan to County move permanent.

Both sign a one-year deal as Newport, who have already signed experienced frontman Jefferson Louis, bid to replace the departed Elliott Buchanan.

"Danny has a proven goal scoring record," said Edinburgh.

"I am delighted that we have been able to secure Danny's services for the 2012/13 season."

Crow, the 26-year-old former Peterbrough United forward, and Charles, the 22-year-old who joined Jefferson Louis and Jake Thompson.
