Hayden Mullins praises Newport County forward Shaquille Gwengwe

Newport County manager Hayden Mullins commended Shaquille Gwengwe following the forward's nomination for the League Two player of the month award. Gwengwe transitioned to the professional level this season after arriving from Poole Town, scoring four goals during his first five appearances. While primarily deployed in a wide role, Mullins noted the 25-year-old maintains an open-minded approach to his positioning and possesses the potential to play centrally. The team expects to welcome back experienced forward Christian Doidge for the upcoming match against Fleetwood Town on Saturday, September 12. Mullins indicated he is considering pairing the two players, citing the success the team experienced when they shared the pitch previously.
