Forward Greaves makes early Newport exit

Forward Oliver Greaves has left Newport County by mutual consent.

The 25-year-old had not played for the League Two side this season and was named on the bench just once, when he was an unused substitute in the Carabao Cup defeat to Millwall.

Greaves, who joined last summer from Mickleover in the Northern Premier League on a two-year contract, has now left to try and get regular action.

"Everyone at Newport County would like to thank Oliver for his commitment and efforts during his time with the club and we wish him every success in the future," read a club statement.

Greaves, who came through Sheffield United's academy, made just 19 appearances and scored three goals against Cheltenham Town, West Ham United Under-21s and AFC Wimbledon.

David Hughes' side attempt to end a four-game losing streak when they travel to Cambridge United in League Two on Saturday (15:00 BST).
