Alex Rodman will be leaving Newport County, the club have confirmed.

The winger has been linked with a reunion with ex-Newport boss John Sheridan at Notts County.

"We are also able to confirm that we will be announcing new signings early next week."

The news comes after the Exiles made their fifth and sixth signings of the summer.

"I have known Warren for a few years and it is an exciting time at Newport County," he said.
