Newport's Rose banned for five matches after referee red row

Newport's Mitch Rose was charged with knocking the red card out of referee Trevor Kettle's hands

Newport County midfielder Mitchell Rose has been handed a five-match ban after a charge of misconduct was upheld by the Football Association.

Rose was charged for knocking a red card out of referee Trevor Kettle's hand in Newport's 3-2 loss at Cambridge United in February.

The 22-year-old was initially sent off for giving away a late penalty, but the dismissal was overturned.

Rose, the brother of Tottenham's Danny Rose, was also fined £1,000.

County received a £2,500 fine after admitting a charge of failing to control their players.

The matter was heard by an independent regulatory commission.
