Town are one of a number of clubs said to be keeping an eye on Newport County defender Andrew Hughes. The 19-year-old is also reported to be interesting Coventry City and Charlton Athletic.

Left-back Hughes, a former Wales Schoolboys international, joined Newport’s youth set-up after previously spending time with hometown club Cardiff.

He made his first team debut for County in 2008 and has now become a regular for the Blue Square Bet Premier side.

Former Town striker Darryl Knights is a team-mate of Hughes at Newport, while Ipswich-born keeper Danny Potter is another member of the Exiles’ side.

ITFCMonk added 16:41 - Nov 11 do we really need another left back with Cresswell, Kennedy, O'Connor, Collins and Whight already at the club?!

felixblue added 18:06 - Nov 11 I would think cover for Kennedy when he goes if Cresswell gets an injury or ban, and maybe PJ can see Cresswell moving to left mid to and some pace going forward and getting crosses into the box and he would be able to drop off and cover, could be a very clever move.

ipswich_ac added 18:12 - Nov 11 People want youth, who want to prove themselves and then seem unhappy that we are linked with a young left back. Take Cresswell out of the mix and we are massively short.

Garv added 19:36 - Nov 11 Felixblue - can't agree. Cresswell's strength is defending, well that and crossing but in fact isn't that quick, well not quick enough to be a 'beat two men and get to the byline' winger anyway in my opinion. He has been magnificent at left back and I think will add more to the team from that position.
