Newport County are set for transfer talks as they begin early planning for the January window.

The League Two club this week confirmed they had ended a run of financial losses after submitting their latest accounts.

Chairman Huw Jenkins described the return to profit as “light moving forward” after his takeover helped end a period of serious concern.

However, the club’s recent FA Cup first-round exit means there will be no repeat of the money-spinning televised tie against Manchester United which helped swell the coffers in the financial results that covered the 2023-24 season.

It remains to be seen whether that will impact on January spending plans.

After 17 signings over the summer, Jenkins had said further additions in the winter would be “unlikely”.

But head coach Nelson Jardim says transfer discussions are scheduled as Newport consider what business might be done.

“We are set to have meeting in upcoming days, but at the moment that period is a little bit far away and [so is] having an idea of what we might need,” said Jardim ahead of the Saturday’s home game with Grimsby Town.

“There is a lot of time before January and a lot of games too, so the focus should be on them and just keeping an eye on how things develop and what we need, if we do need.”

This season is being seen by some as a campaign in which foundations are laid after a change of ownership at Newport was followed by a change in the dugout, with Jardim replacing Graham Coughlan over the summer.

“We’re still trying to move forward and both areas go along together,” said Jardim.

“The financial side, everyone is working hard to make sure club goes right direction and a lot is being done behind the scenes.

“On the pitch we are not at the level we want to be – or will be. There are always setbacks and we are in a tough spell, but we are determined to get back on good track – that good run will come.

“Where we are is closer to the play-offs than to the bottom of the table and you cannot say that’s negative.”
