Newport County have signed former academy prospect and Swansea goalkeeper Lewis Webb.
The 23-year-old spent last season with Cymru Premier side Caernarfon, playing 35 games and helping them win qualification for the European Conference League qualifiers.
Webb, who is from Newport, was previously part of the Exiles' academy before joining Merthyr Town in 2018.
He also had spells with Swansea City's Under-23s and Shelbourne in the League of Ireland Premier Division.
"I'm absolutely delighted to be back at the club," said Webb
"Having spent time here in the academy at under-15 and under-16 level, it feels fantastic to return to a place I know so well.
"I'm really excited about the opportunity ahead and can't wait to push on and continue developing my career with Newport County."
Webb becomes the third goalkeeper in the Newport squad, alongside Nick Townsend and Jacob Carney.
First-choice shot stopper Townsend is out of contact this summer, while summer-signing Carney has made a number of errors when given the opportunity to play this season.
Webb is available for selection against AFC Wimbledon on Thursday.
