Newport extend loan of striker Hudlin to end of season

Newport County have extended the loan of striker Kyle Hudlin from Huddersfield Town until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old has scored four goals for the Exiles in 20 appearances, his first coming against Salford in October 2024.

Hudlin, who is one of the tallest professional football players at 6ft 9in, has also netted against Tranmere, Gillingham and Bradford.

The striker had originally signed a four-month loan deal on deadline day, but will now spend the rest of the 2024-25 season at Rodney Parade.

Hudlin will have the chance to add to his Newport goal tally on the day of his loan extension, as the Exiles host AFC Wimbledon.
