Newport County's defensive lineup has been strengthened with the signing of new contracts by Cameron Evans and Ciaran Brennan. Defender Cameron Evans has signed a new contract with Newport County, extending his stay at Rodney Parade. The 25-year-old, who featured in 41 appearances last season, was due to be out of contract this summer. Evans follows in the footsteps of Ciaran Brennan, who has also agreed a new deal with the League Two club. Brennan, a former Sheffield Wednesday trainee, made 29 appearances in all competitions in the 2025-26 campaign. The new deals come after midfielder Harrison Biggins signed on a permanent deal, while three players - Bobby Kamwa, Matt Baker, and Michael Spellman - turned down new contract offers from County. Cameron Evans, a former Wales youth international and Swansea City academy product, is now set for his third season with Newport. The Welshman's versatility will be an asset to the team, having played in various positions including centre-back, full-back, and midfield. Ciaran Brennan's commitment to the club is also a significant boost, given his ability to play in different roles. The signings are a positive step for Newport County as they prepare for the 2026-27 season.
