After much speculation, Chris Todd has signed with Newport County Football Club – initially on a “rest of the season” loan from Torquay and then for a further season directly with the club.
Dean Holdsworth (manager) said:
“I am delighted that Chris, who has had numerous offers, has decided to join Newport County. In Chris we are gaining a league quality defender who in recent years has commanded transfer fees and has lead his side at Wembley in a the conference play off final. During his loan spell at Salisbury he has been spoken of very highly and I know that they will be disappointed to have lost his services.”
Chris said ” I chose Newport County as I really think that the club are going places, I love a challenge and I want to be part of it. As a Welshman through and through I want Wales to have another club back in the football league and from what I can see, I think that the County can do that. It gives me a real opportunity to be part of something special.”
“Dean was a major influence in me signing as I watched him as a kid and I love the way he goes about things – he always gives 110% in everything that he does. When I talked to him it was obvious that he means business and I want to be part of his plans for the County.”
