Striker Nathan Opoku will remain on loan from Leicester City at Newport County until the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

The 24-year-old Ghanaian joined The Exiles at the start of their League Two season and the Foxes have agreed he can stay at Rodney Parade as they battle against relegation.

Newport boss Christian Fuchs' history as a Premier League title and FA Cup winner with Leicester may have helped in the negotiations.

However, there is no word yet about the future of versatile Sammy Braybrooke, who has also been on loan at Newport since September.
