Crewe have signed Courtney Baker-Richardson after the striker turned down a new contract at Newport.

Baker-Richardson, who scored eight goals in 32 games for County this season, has agreed a two-year deal with the relegated Alex.

The 26-year-old began his career at Coventry before playing in non-league with Nuneaton, Redditch and Leamington.

His scoring exploits earned him a move to Swansea, where he netted three times in 17 Championship games.

Baker-Richardson is Crewe's third signing this summer, following midfielder Conor Thomas and defender Kelvin Mellor.
