Welsh side Newport County have been highly requested
Here are 5 players they should look at based on YOUR suggestions
Comment your team + 5 positions below! 👇
RWB: Corey Hurford
As suggested @NPJayx , recently released by Swansea, Hurford seems like a natural fit for Newport
He’d continue the trend of former Swansea players moving there, and at just 19 he’d also represent a brilliant long term option. Available on a free too
CB: James Chester
Despite being 34 I believe Wales international Chester could be a very good addition for Newport
Not only does he have massive amounts of experience in EFL, but he also has been playing as part of a back 3 at Derby this season, the system Newport use
CB: Charlie Raglan
Another local option could be Raglan, who played 23 games for Cheltenham this season in League 1
At 30, the time to drop a division may be now, and Newport would offer the option without having to really relocate. Another vastly experienced option
CM: Kieron Evans
Cardiff City youngster Evans had a strong loan at Torquay, despite the fact they were relegated. I believe a loan to Newport would allow them to step up development
A technically gifted central midfielder Evans has bags of ability, and is capable in League 2
ST: Declan McManus
McManus was top scorer in the Cymru Premier this season, smashing 29 in 25 games, quite an absurd record
28 year old forward is originally from Scotland, and has been a prolific goalscorer for a number of years. He may seem like a gamble, but he will score

Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley
He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands
Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇
The Key Stats
Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)
22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy)
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet
Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass
🧵🏴 England play against North Macedonia tonight. England aren’t adverse to former Non-League players, with Mings in the current squad potentially playing tonight
So here is an XI of players in Non-League who I feel could one day pull on the famous 3 Lions Shirt 👇
Owen Foster
Scunthorpe’s 18 year old keeper Foster had a brilliant stint when called upon last season, so much so that he is now going on trial at several Championship clubs
A brilliant shot stopper, Foster has massive potential. Needs the right development
Kellen Fisher
Okay, so Fisher isn’t technically a NL player anymore BUT he only just moved to Norwich, so I’m counting him here
That move says it all for him really - he has genuine potential to be a top right back. He’s already mature beyond his years at 18
Promoted side Sheffield Wednesday were requested yday afternoon. So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇
GK: Josh Vickers
Wednesday rotated their keepers last season, so you’d expect them to need to add another safe pair of hands
Vickers is exactly that. He’s based fairly locally, so geography works, and he’s shown over a number of years he’s a very capable keeper
CB: Lloyd Jones
A defender I’d like to see make the step up with Wednesday is Jones. He’s been brilliant for Cambridge for a number of years, and is now available on a free
A strong defender, one in his prime at 27, Jones is capable on the ball & would be a cost effective move
