BOSS Graham Westley last night confirmed Jack Jebb and Josh O’Hanlon had joined Newport County AFC on non-contract terms.
The two, who were both unattached, made their debuts for the Exiles in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat of AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Trophy.
Westley previously worked with former Arsenal midfielder Jebb, 21, while manager of Stevenage, where he had two loan spells before joining permanently in September 2015.
An England international at under-16 and 17 levels, Jebb was released by Stevenage at the end of last season.
Dubliner O’Hanlon, also 21, was released by Bournemouth this summer having failed to make a first-team appearance at the Vitality Stadium.
He signed for the Cherries from League of Ireland side Longford Town in January 2014 and had spells on loan with the likes of York and Chester.
Westley says the duo have arrived at Rodney Parade on "short-term deals".
