Newport County have appointed Chris Finn as head of football operations.

Finn previously worked with Exiles manager Graham Coughlan at Bristol Rovers and his role will have a specific focus on first-team recruitment.

"Chris is a great addition to the club. He's a proper football person with strong Championship credentials," Coughlan said.

"It's another step in the right direction for the club."

Newport won 2-1 at Gillingham on Saturday to climb to 14th in League Two and end their season on 8 May at home to Crewe Alexandra.
