NEWPORT County manager Dean Holdsworth announced to fans this morning that central defender Paul Cochlin has re-joined the club from Bath City.

The move represents a change of heart by Holdsworth who released the player before the start of the season but if he receives clearance in time Cochlin is likely to feature against Basingstoke tomorrow afternoon.

Cochlin's arrival means Dan Harrison returns to Cinderford and Kris Leek heads to Clevedon, both on loan deals.

More on this story in tomorrow's Argus Sport.
