Newport County have suffered a blow as League Two's top goalscorer Dom Telford has announced his decision to leave Rodney Parade as a free agent.

Telford scored 25 goals last season but his efforts were not enough to secure a League Two play-off spot for Newport.

The 25-year old joined the club from Plymouth in January 2021 but is out of contract and has rejected a new deal.

Kevin Ellison, 43, was in talks over a coaching role, but has now also left after deciding to continue playing.

Announcing his decision to leave on social media, Telford said that he has "decided to pursue a new challenge."
