NEWPORT County have signed left back Billy Jones on a short-term deal.

The Exiles have moved to fill the void left by the injury to Andy Sandell, who is out for at least three months because of ligament damage to his foot.

Jones, 30, heads to Rodney Parade after spells at Exeter, Crewe and Cheltenham Town.

The player has signed a monthly contract and will be in the squad for Saturday's home match against Morcambe.
