On his arrival, Carl said: "I'm delighted to be here, it's been a bit of a whirlwind and things have progressed really quickly but once I had the conversation with James [Rowberry] it's something that I didn't want to turn down and wanted to grasp with both hands."

On the appointment, Newport manager James Rowberry said: "I'm delighted to welcome Carl to our club, Carl brings a wealth of experience and compliments our current staffing structure. "I would like to thank Cardiff City for allowing this process to happen smoothly and quickly. I'm sure you'll all welcome Carl on Saturday against Tranmere."
