Described as "one of the tallest professional footballers in the world" at a towering 6ft 9in, Newport have signed Kyle Hudlin on loan from Huddersfield.

"It's going to be easy to recognise him on the pitch!" manger Nelson Jardim told the club website.

"I always think about the qualities he has as a footballer and obviously losing Hamzad (Kargbo), who had his shoulder surgery this week, we fall short in terms of strikers. We felt Hudlin would be the best option for us to provide the cover we felt we needed.

"He is certainly a player who can affect both boxes and will bring more options to the club."
