Former Undy man Nathan Wood signs for Newport County

Everyone at Undy AFC would like to pass on their very best to former midfielder Nathan Wood, who last month signed for today's visitors and neighbours Newport County.

Manager Graham Coughlan has made Wood his first signing of the season, from Penybont, where he has spent the past eight seasons, after he begin his senior career at the Causeway.

After securing his signature, Coughlan said: "Nathan is very attack minded and I believe he gives us something that we don’t currently have. He’ll add extra dimension to our offensive play.

"It’s a great opportunity for him, coming from the Welsh Premier League. We’ve had a lot of success in players from the league previously at the football club.

"He was a standout performer in that division last season and it’s an opportunity he fully deserves. I am really looking forward to working with him."

Nathan, isn’t a complete stranger to the County having come their Academy system up until 2015.

He said: "Obviously being a local lad playing for your home-town club is a great feeling. I was really disappointed that I couldn’t go that extra step at the time, but it’s come full circle and I’m back - and it feels really good.

"I’ve been a fan of Newport for years. I watched the club get promoted from the Conference to the Football League.

"I was at the first league game of the season, and I know how much it means to the fans and just how passionate they are. For me to be a part of that and have the opportunity to come here is a no brainer."

Speaking about Nathan's return, Undy Chairman, Jim Roberts said: " We are really delighted to see the success Nathan has had and we wish him the best of luck for the new season."
