Newport have signed Notts County defender Scot Bennett on a three-month loan deal.
Bennett trained with his new team-mates on Thursday and, subject to international clearance, will go straight into the Exiles' squad for their Sky Bet League 2 fixture at Mansfield on Saturday.
The 24-year-old told the club's official website: "I heard about the interest on Tuesday morning and that there was a possibility of coming to Newport.
"I have played against John (Sheridan) when he was manager at Plymouth and today (Thursday) is the first time I have had a chance to meet him and talk with him.
"It's a new relationship for me, but hopefully it is one that will work.
"League 2 is a very tight-knit group - one minute you can be losing five games and the next thing you can be picking up five wins on the bounce and be right back in contention.
"I can't wait to get involved and hopefully I will be able to play a part on Saturday and the team can pick up the three points."
Bennett has made three appearances for Notts County since moving to Meadow Lane from Exeter in the summer.
