Newport County aims to strengthen squad before League Two season

Summary

Newport County is preparing for the upcoming League Two campaign with a focus on improving their squad after a disappointing 20th-place finish last season. Following a 4-0 loss to Reading, interim manager Chris Todd indicated the club is actively seeking additional signings to address defensive weaknesses, having already made seven new additions this summer. With concerns about depth in midfield and a lack of creativity, Todd emphasized the need for more reinforcements, particularly in defensive positions. Newport's campaign begins with a fixture against AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup in two weeks.
