Christopher Missilou: Newport County cancel Congo midfielder's contract

Auxerre-born Christopher Missilou won three caps for France Under-18s

Newport County have cancelled midfielder Christopher Missilou's contract by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old joined the League Two club on a one-year deal in July, following spells with Swindon Town and Northampton Town.

But Missilou, who has two caps for Congo, made only six first-team appearances for Newport.

A club statement read: "We would like to thank Christopher for his efforts and wish him all the very best."
