Newport striker Aaron Collins has landed a move to Sky Bet Championship side Wolves.
The 18-year-old, who came through County's academy, has signed a two-and-a-half year contract at Molineux after the clubs agreed an undisclosed fee.
Collins has scored three goals in 22 games this season, including the winner against York on Saturday.
County manager Warren Feeney told the club website: "I'm obviously disappointed that we have lost Aaron, but at the same time I am pleased for the lad.
"He is a fantastic person to have around the squad and I have been impressed with him since I have been at the club."
"Unfortunately in football any young kid that breaks onto the scene and scores goals will always attract interest.
"He is going to a great club in Wolverhampton Wanderers. A good manager like Kenny Jackett can help develop him further and hopefully Aaron can push on and try and win a place in the first team and progress to big things."
