Newport County have signed Michael Spellman following his exit from Sunderland, as confirmed by their official club website.

Newport County have landed the attacker on a free transfer and have handed him a two-year deal running until 2026.

Spellman, 21, cut ties with Sunderland at the end of last season after they decided not to hand him an extension.

He has now dropped down into League Two and has told the Exiles’ club website: “I’m delighted to get the deal over the line. I can’t wait to get started. The club is on the rise and it wants to play good football which is what I’m all about. I’m really excited to play in front of the fans.”

The youngster isn’t the only player to join Newport County either, with the fourth tier outfit also securing the signature of defender Matt Baker from Stoke City on a permanent basis after his loan spell.
