Newport County have made their final addition to their squad for the January window with the addition of Calum Kavanagh who has joined the exiles on loan from Championship side Middlesbrough.
He joins fellow forward Charlie McNeill who has also joined on deadline day on loan from Manchester United.
Calum, Born in Cardiff is the son of former Cardiff, Stoke, Middlesbrough (among many other clubs) player Graham Kavanagh. Who himself is a former Republic of Ireland international.
Like McNeill, Kavanagh has some absolutely incredible numbers at youth level. 15 goals in 17 games in Premier League 2 over the past year and a half. Hopefully he and McNeil can add much needed goals to the team who have only scored 24 goals this season which is the 4th lowest in League two.
He went on loan to fellow League 2 side Harrogate in January 2022. He made 14 appearances there 5 of those were starts. He only managed 1 goal.
He has also made 4 appearances for the Republic of Ireland U17 side scoring 1 goal in that time.
Calum has been named on the bench for the Boro first team this season in a 0-1 cup upset at home to Barnsley in the EFL cup.
On signing Calum said “I’m delighted to get the move over the line, I’ve been wanting to get a loan this window and this managed to come around so I’m really happy.”
Welcome to Newport Calum!
Welcome to Newport Calum, good luck & best wishes 👍
