Youth Profiles

Corey Sheppard

Son of ex-County forward Gary, Corey is box to box midfielder with a good passing range.

Sam James

Quick left footed centre back from the Gwent valleys, joined County as a 16- year old from Cardiff City.

Ellis Redman

Newport boy Ellis is in his 3rd season as a scholar. After an injury and illness ravaged 2 years, Bettws based Ellis has been on the bench for the 1st team in the JPT Trophy. Ellis has been with the club since the age of eight and we are glad to see him not returning to his full potential.

Harry Waterhouse

Small technical midfield or attacking player, Harry joined the club after a spell at Bristol Rovers. Based in Langstone Harry is another local Newport boy.

 

Dafydd Jones

Daffyd, another Gwent valley boy, is literally one of our own. Dafydd has been with the club ever since we established the junior academy, representing the Club at every age level. The pocket sized winger can go past players and deliver quality crosses, as well as being in the right area to grab a goal.


Cedrick Mpadi 


Athletic and strong, Cedrick is another of our Cardiff based and former Cardiff City players, joining Newport in 2014.

Lewi Bamford

Lewi is very much a character and is always joking around. A midfielder with a good engine and covers a lot of ground. He joined the club from Bristol Rovers and was part of our very successful under-16s team of 2013-2014. Made a first-team appearance in our League Two fixture against Dagenham & Redbridge, coming on as a substitute in the closing stages of the game. 

Liam Angel

 Left footed and tenacious, Liam was another player to join us from Cardiff City. Liam was part of the successful Welsh Victory Shield squad last year and has experience with Wales at under-17 level.

Nathan Mathias 

Nathan, who is based in Porthcawl, has had trials at Man City and Fulham before signing with Newport. Also a good rugby player, Nathan was offered a deal with the Cardiff Blues in 2014.
