NEWPORT County AFC look set to seal the signature of former Macclesfield Town and AFC Wimbledon defender Ryan Jackson tomorrow.

The 22-year-old right-back started for the Exiles in tonight's 3-3 draw against a Reading XI at Spytty Park.

Manager Justin Edinburgh confirmed after the friendly match that he hopes to tie up the deal to sign Jackson tomorrow.

"We are very close with the signing of Ryan," said Edinburgh.

"I thought he performed well tonight and will provide us with good cover for David Pipe.

"We hope to complete the paperwork tomorrow."
