Newport County are pleased to announce the loan signing of midfielder Sammy Braybrooke from Leicester City, joining us until December 31, subject to EFL approval and ITC.
At just 21 years old, Sammy is a highly regarded defensive-minded midfielder, where he graduated through Leicester's youth ranks and represented England at U18, U19, and U20 levels.
Sammy made his professional debut in November 2022 in a Carabao Cup tie — ironically against Newport County — before a loan spell at Dundee in the Scottish Premiership.
Manager David Hughes said “We’re extremely pleased to welcome Sammy to Newport County. He’s a tenacious midfielder who will add depth to our squad. His experience within the England youth system shows us how capable he is, and we’re looking forward to seeing him represent the club. “
Braybrooke added “I’m delighted to be here at Newport County and I’m glad to get the deal over the line. I’ve spoken to the Manager and we share the same ideas and values and I’m really looking forward to showing everyone what I can do.
