Mullins seeks extra signings for Newport County before deadline
Newport County manager Hayden Mullins said the club is still looking to add players before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.
Hayden Mullins, the 47-year-old Newport County manager, urged supporters to be patient as the club continues to hunt for reinforcements before the transfer window shuts at 23:00 BST on Tuesday. Although 11 players have already joined this season, the latest loan signing of Matt Dibley-Dias from Fulham highlights the ongoing activity. Mullins said the pace of negotiations has been slower than desired because prospective signings are still involved in their own matches.
He confirmed no exits are planned before the deadline and that the current roster is adequate for the remaining schedule, though rotation may become necessary. The manager also mentioned the impact of substitutes like Alfie Merritt and Cole Jarvis in recent games and hinted at a possible winger addition to free up Shaquille Gwengwe for a more central role, despite injuries to Jed Garner and James Crole.
Why it matters
The club aims to bolster its squad depth before the deadline to stay competitive in the upcoming fixtures.
