NEWPORT County AFC have boosted their squad with the loan signings of two Premier League youngsters.
Exiles boss Warren Feeney has agreed loan deals for AFC Bournemouth striker Jordan Green and Swansea City midfielder Josh Sheehan, which will run until January.
Both players are aged 21 and both should be eligible to make their debut in tomorrow night's EFL Cup clash with MK Dons at Rodney Parade.
A statement on the club website reads: "The club are delighted to announce the loan signing of duo Josh Sheehan and Jordan Green, who join the Exiles on loan deals until January.
"The pair sign for the club in time to be eligible for tomorrow's EFL Cup tie against MK Dons at Rodney Parade, subject to the club receiving international clearance for Jordan.
"Sheehan, who is a Welsh under-21 international, has experience of Sky Bet League Two following a spell last season with Yeovil Town, where the midfielder made 13 appearances.
"Twenty-one-year-old forward Jordan Green is a highly-rated prospect at Bournemouth and will add to manager Warren Feeney's attacking options going into the busy August period."

Speaking to the official site, Feeney revealed his excitement about what the two players could add to the squad.
"Josh knows this division well from his time at Yeovil last season and he has great potential," he said.
"I think he will offer something different for us and will add quality to our squad.
"Josh is always looking to get on the ball and make things happen and he creates the opportunity for other players around him to be that little bit more flexible and his signing will give us another dimension.
"Jordan is an exciting player and he is a forward that will look to put the opposition on the back foot.
"He likes to attack and he likes to run at defenders and I think that he will be an exciting addition for us.
"We would like to thank both Bournemouth and Swansea for their help in getting these deals over the line."
