NEWPORT County AFC striker Ryan Hillier will spend the rest of the season on loan at Cardiff Met in the Cymru Premier.
The 19-year-old forward has followed fellow academy graduates Joe Woodiwiss (Merthyr) and Lewys Twamley (Salisbury), plus development team left-back Louis Hall (Gloucester), in heading out for experience.
They will still train with County alongside their commitments at their temporary new homes, with Hillier potentially making a debut in the Archers’ trip to Flint Town on Saturday.
