    Newport County have signed former Leeds United and Burton Albion winger Bobby Kamwa.

    The Cameroon-born 24-year-old is the League Two club's 12th summer signing.

    Kamwa moved to the United Kingdom at the age of nine and progressed through the ranks of the Leeds academy.

    He earned a two-year professional contract at Elland Road before a loan spell at Dunfermline in the Scottish Premiership.

    In October 2022, Kamwa joined Burton Albion, where he made 46 appearances, netting four goals.

    He played 26 times for the League One club in 2023-24 but was released in May.

    "I am very pleased to be here," Kamwa told the Newport website.

    "It is a club who have shown a lot of interest in me and the way they have welcomed me has been amazing.

    "I have spoken to the manager and he told me about plans going forward. That was something that really excited me."

    Newport travel to Hereford on Saturday for their final pre-season game before their League Two opener at Cheltenham on Saturday, 10 August.

    Newport County have signed former Swansea City player Cameron Evans after successful a trial.

    The versatile defender, 23, has agreed a two-year deal with the League Two club.

    Former Wales Under-19 centre-back Evans came through the youth ranks at Swansea City, having joined them at under-9 level.

    Evans made one senior appearance for the Swans, in an FA Cup tie against Stevenage in 2021.

    He had two loan spells at Waterford in the Republic of Ireland and also represented Sligo Rovers before heading to Conference South side Taunton, where he played last season.

    Evans said: “I’ve been on trial over the last couple of weeks and got given a great opportunity, so I’m just really happy that I impressed enough to earn a contract.”

    He will be well known to Newport boss Nelson Jardim, who was on the coaching staff at Swansea, as well as Exiles chairman Huw Jenkins, who was previously in charge at the Championship club.

    Evans ' arrival means Newport have signed 11 players in the summer transfer window.
