Robbie Willmott will be back at Rodney Parade for Newport County’s League Two clash with Doncaster Rovers on Saturday, August 17 (3pm).
The Exiles favourite, who made 241 league appearances for the club, will be the special guest in hospitality for the first home game of the new campaign.
Robbie joined Newport in January 2013 from Cambridge United and scored two goals on his debut in a 4–2 away win at Lincoln City. In his first season he was part of the Newport team that finished third in the league, reaching the Conference Premier play-offs where they beat Wrexham at Wembley to return to the Football League after a 25-year absence.
The former England C international went on to make 80 league appearances with 10 goals before being released by manager Terry Butcher in May 2015 at the end of his contract along with ten other senior players in a cost cutting drive.
But after spells at Ebbsfleet and Chelmsford City, Robbie returned to Newport in May 2017 on a two-year contract. He went on to make a further 158 league appearances with seven goals before joining Woking in 2023.
He has remained living in Newport, however, a stone’s throw from Rodney Parade, and joined Welsh Premier side Barry Town in the summer.
The club has frozen hospitality prices for the new campaign and is lining up an exciting roster of special guests to make the experience even better for Exiles fans looking to make it a day to remember.
Guests can secure their place in hospitality for just £60 per person and enjoy fantastic cuisine, premier seating, special guests and exclusive in-lounge entertainment that even includes a pre-match visit from the manager to discuss his team selection for that day?
And if you are already a season ticket holder, you can upgrade for just £40 per person. Individual match ticket purchasers are also able to upgrade by emailing hospitality@newport-county.co.uk.
