Newport County land Bristol City's Olly Baker an re-sign Matt Baker from Stoke City

Newport County have signed 18-year-old Bristol City striker Olly Thomas on loan and secured a fresh loan deal for Stoke City defender Matt Baker.

Thomas has joined for the rest of the season after being recalled from a loan at National League South side Yeovil.

Newport boss Graham Coughlan was looking for a replacement for another Bristol City loanee, Seb Holden-Palmer, who faces three months out injured.

Baker, 20, returns after a successful loan spell at Newport last season.

The Wales Under-21s international, who can also operate in midfield, played 18 games for the Exiles after joining last January.
