Newport eye more signings before transfer deadline

Newport County boss Nelson Jardim is targeting "at least one or two" more signings in the latter stages of the transfer window.

Prior to their 3-1 win against Accrington Stanley, the Exiles made their 14th signing of the summer by bringing in midfielder Kieron Evans on loan from Cardiff City.

But head coach Jardim says Newport still have further squad additions in their sights ahead of Friday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline.

"We had on our radar, two or three," he said.

"Kieron Evans signed yesterday, so it's another one that will compete and bring quality and more options to the team.

"We're looking to sign at least another one or two players, let's see how it goes.

"We're not rushing, we want to make sure that anyone coming in is the right player, the right character and knowing that he's coming into a team that is always looking to improve every day."
