Former Ross County defender Declan Drysdale has signed for Welsh club Newport County.

The 22-year-old, who was on loan at Dingwall from Coventry City last season, has signed a permanent deal with the English League Two outfit.

Drysdale made six appearances for Ross County after joining the club during the January transfer window.

Newport manager James Rowberry said: “Declan at 22 already has two promotions on his CV and has really good experience within senior football for his age.

“He brings a physicality and technical ability to our back line as well as showing he can be a leader. I’m excited to be working with Declan."
