GRAHAM Coughlan's patience in a frustrating January transfer window looks to have paid off after Newport County AFC finished their business with a pair of deadline day signings.

The Exiles could feature four debutants in their matchday squad when they return to action against Swindon Town in League Two at Rodney Parade on Saturday (kick-off 12.45pm).

Midfielder Harry Charsley was signed on a permanent deal from Port Vale in mid-January with postponements meaning he is yet to make his bow.

He was followed through the door by a trio of promising prospects on loans until the end of the campaign.

Stoke City’s Wales Under-21s defender Matt Baker was signed to provide cover at the back because of injury concerns.

The final business was sealed on Tuesday with highly-rated Manchester United striker Charlie McNeill’s arrival announced in the morning before fellow forward Calum Kavanagh was signed from Middlesbrough in the evening.

Out have gone stalwarts Matty Dolan and Robbie Willmott on loan to Hartlepool and Walsall respectively while youngsters Jack Karadogan and Harrison Bright have been sent for a taste of men’s football in the Cymru Premier with Pontypridd.

Striker Chanka Zimba (Cardiff), forward Thierry Nevers (West Ham) and midfielder Hayden Lindley (Aston Villa) returned to their parent clubs at the start of the month.
