Aaron Wildig joined Newport County in June 2022 after turning down a new contract with Morecambe
Newport County won their second game in a row as they beat Accrington Stanley 3-1 at Rodney Parade.
The Exiles - who beat Doncaster by the same score-line last weekend - took an early lead when Sebastien Quirk turned the ball into his own net.
Accrington levelled before the break, Shaun Walley beating Ciaran Brennan before slotting the ball past Nick Townsend.
Newport restored their lead seven minutes into the second half, Courtney Baker-Richardson scoring from the spot.
And Aaron Wildig gave the hosts a two-goal cushion 10 minutes later, firing home a volley from inside the area.
Victory moves Newport up to fifth in League Two on six points from three games, while Accrington sit above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Newport County manager Nelson Jardim told BBC Radio Wales:
"Winning home games is important in this league and the performance was enough for that.
"Credit to Accrington, they are a good team, they made it very difficult for us.
"I think this is a win off what as staff we've been doing and the players, they are the ones who have to get the credit."
Accrington Stanley head coach John Doolan told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"I thought we started really well and then, their first attack, they ended up scoring a goal.
"We kept believing, there were loads of positives to take from the first-half. I thought it was justified that we got back into the game with Shaun Whalley. His goal was great, he's absolutely brilliant.
"You make your own luck, and I think that will come. We've got some really good players so the squad is building, it is getting stronger."
