On securing the deal, boss James Rowberry said: "I'm delighted to welcome Sam to Newport, I worked with him for 10 years during our time at Cardiff, which makes me fully aware of his capabilities and what he can bring to the football club.

"HIs style of play suits us well and I have no doubt that he can be a continuation of our processes as we move forward, going into the forthcoming season.

"I'm excited for the club, Sam and Sam's family on getting this deal over the line and I can't wait to start work on the training pitch in preparation for next season."

New Cardiff City signing Jak Alnwick has credited the influence of his older brother in helping to kickstart his career.

The former Newcastle United keeper recently completed a move to the capital following the recent departure of previous number one Alex Smithies, the latest step in a career that's previously taken him to eight clubs.

His brother Ben also started his career in their native north-east, running out for Sunderland, before later enjoying spells at Tottenham, Luton, Norwich and, most recently, Bolton Wanderers among others.

And it's clear his career has had a big influence on his younger brother, who's itching to get started for the Bluebirds
