As we welcome Oldham Athletic to Rodney Parade this Saturday, here is a look at some past players that have shared the shirt between Newport County and The Latics...
Harry Charsley
Charsley currently plays for Truro City, recently relegated from the fifth tier, but once played for both Newport and Oldham.
Charsley joined The Exiles in 2023 from Port Vale. His first game in the squad was a 2-1 win against Swindon Town, and within a month he scored his first goal for the club away to Salford City. The Irishman remained in Wales for another season as he faced off against Manchester United in the FA Cup, and Brentford in the EFL Cup.
During his time at the club, Charsley made 55 appearances, scoring seven times and providing four assists.
However, in the summer of 2024, the midfielder left County to join Oldham, where he remained for just over a year. Charsley only made 14 appearances for The Latics, mostly in the National League, but did manage to score on three occasions, with two of these being in his first two games.
Christopher Missilou
Currently retired from professional football after last playing for Hartlepool, this Auxerre-born midfielder put on the kit for both teams in an unexpected journey through the EFL.
Missilou first joined Oldham in 2018 from French side Le Puy Foot, before rejoining The Latics in 2022 from Newport. During his two stints at the club, the midfielder made 104 appearances, where he scored six times and also grabbed four assists. Missilou was also part of the team that helped Athletic defeat Premier League Fulham in the Third Round of the FA Cup in 2019.
For Newport, Missilou joined in the summer of 2021 after previously playing for Swindon Town. The former Congolese international made eight appearances for the Welsh side, including a 1-0 win against Ipswich Town in the EFL Cup, before leaving through mutual consent in December 2021.
Calaum Jahraldo-Martin
Jahraldo-Martin was a former Artigua and Burbuda international, and despite retiring in 2019, spent valuable time with both of these clubs.
He joined Oldham in 2016, where he stayed for one season as he only made five appearances for the club. Four of his five appearances were in the league, with his other feature being in a win against Blackburn Rovers U23 on penalties.
After his time in Greater Manchester, the forward joined Newport, where he stayed for one season. He made four total league apperarances, with two in the EFL Trophy, before moving on to the likes of Boreham Wood, Hemel Hempstead Town and Billericay Town. He then went into the business world, specialising in luxury travel.
