Newport County have bolstered the midfield ranks with the signing of one of their former players Nathan Wood from Welsh Cymru Premier side Penybont.
Nathan joins us from Penybont in the JD Cymru Premier and adds to a strong list of players from that league to make the jump to EFL football. The likes of James Waite, Will Evans and Priestly Farquharson have seamlessly made the jump up in divisions to play for County.
Nathan adds something a bit different to the Newport County midfield, racking up an impressive 15 goals and 8 assists from midfield last season in a Penybont team that qualified for the Europa Conference league for the first time in the clubs history. He adds to the 2023-24 midfield which is currently made up from Scot Bennett, Harry Charsley, Sam Bowen, Aaron Wildig and James Waite.
Throughout last season I said regularly on Look back in Amber that Newport were in need of a creative minded midfielder, despite Aaron Wildig looking like his influence on this team has increased I feel like we still needed someone else to contribute with goals and assists from Midfield
On signing Nathan said: added- “I’ve been a fan of Newport for years. I watched the club get promoted from the Conference to the Football League. I was at the first league game of the season, and I know how much it means to the fans and just how passionate they are. For me to be a part of that and have the opportunity to come here is a no brainer.”
Welcome Nathan!
