Loans 2025/26

[CloudFox]

I really would like us to support Fuchs, so if we do choose to bring Sammy back you'd hope we could loan out others to Newport instead. Cartwright doesn't seem to be getting as much game time at Falkirk, so could move him to Newport and Sammy to an L1 team? Although if it's season long, I'd imagine Sammy might have to stay at Newport.

I would think Cartwright could do a job in the EFL at a higher level than Newport to be fair. He has already made more of an impression at Falkirk than Braybrooke did at Dundee.

 

That said, I agree we should get him back from Falkirk, if the terms of the loan allow as you have alluded to with Braybrooke.

 

Not that I think they should be obliged to play him more as all teams should be free to select their line ups as they see fit. However, nor should we be obliged to leave him there if he is only getting 15/20 minutes. Our interest should be getting him where he can play more, regardless of whether it disrupts Falkirk.

Braybrooke is only on loan til January, officially.

 

Give them Golding.  Probably be their most expensive player ever...

Would love to see Sammy recalled and be given the chance to transition into the Winks role, reckon he would be good alongside JJ 

[Guest]

I want us to do what's best for us and for the development of our players, not what's best for Newport and Christian Fuchs

[Rubbersoul]

I know he’s playing every week which is the main thing but honestly Braybrooke is clearly too good for League Two. 
 

In an ideal world he gets a League One loan where he continues to play every week then comes back to us for a go at the Championship in 26/27.

I love the idea, but I think it's too early. Sammy needs game time. Being a bit part player for us this season wouldn't help him. He is almost definitely not going to be ahead of Winks and JJ. Unfortunately not even Skipp. And that's okay—his time will come. A League One loan would be ideal.

whilst I agree with all of this, we're gonna be stuck with that useless lemon Skipp on mad money for years to come

‘He Is Good’ – Leicester City Out-on-loan Star Gets Noticed By Ex-EFL Man
18/11/2025 - 07:41 GMT

Ex-EFL star Adrian Clarke is of the view that Leicester City talent Sammy Braybrooke, who is on loan at Newport County, is someone with pedigree and thinks he is a good player.

 

The 21-year-old defensive midfielder is a product of the Leicester academy system and he represented England at youth levels as well. 
 

This first paragraph is pure Football Manager.

Page is definitely above that level. Would be a waste to send him there. He looked fine for us at this level earlier in the season. League 1 maybe.

 

Don’t know about Evans.

I think both if were to go on loan should be at League One level at the very least. Briggs and Richards would be more likely.

New County boss to 'do everything' to keep Leicester loanees

Newport County AFC manager Christian Fuchs says he will 'do everything' to keep Leicester City loanees Sammy Braybrooke and Nathan Opoku beyond January.

The 39-year-old won the Premier League with Leicester in 2016 and he will use his contacts with the Foxes to try to extend the pair's stay in south Wales.

Braybrooke has been a star man for the Exiles this season, while Opoku showed his potential before picking up an injury at Cardiff City in October, but is now close to a return.

"I spoke to Leicester about Sammy and Nathan already," said Fuchs. "I will do everything to keep them on board with us to the end of the season. I think they are crucial in our play, Sammy, especially has done really well and it will be really important to keep those two on board.

"Nathan joined training on Monday, full training, which I was very happy about. He is not there yet to start but he can give us a good few minutes to help us."

Asked about his plans for the January transfer window, the Austrian said: "We had some conversations, nothing in detail yet. Those conversations we'll probably have in the next one to two weeks. We've identified areas where we need to strengthen the roster and it will happen so.

"There are certain areas [that we need to strengthen]. I have a certain way of how I want to attack and those areas we identified very quick and very obvious. But I'm not going to go into that now."

Fuchs, who was beaten 3-0 at Oldham Athletic in his first match in charge, is preparing for his first home match against Barrow on Saturday and he can't wait to experience the atmosphere at Rodney Parade.

"I just got a stadium tour and I love it, it's top," he said. "This is where everything happens and I can't wait to be here and the players to be on the pitch and the fans to be cheering them and supporting them. That's exactly what the players need right now - we need the support of our home fans.

"The first couple of days have been a little bit crazy. But there are good people here and they've made it easy to transition into the job  and everyone has made me feel welcome.

"The group is very positive, I'm positively surprised how the group is engaged every day, and now having a week to work with them on how I want to play it has been great to see how engaged they are.

"I'm sure you'll see a team on Saturday that will fight for every inch on the pitch, that's what we need to do."

Jayden Joseph starting for Tranmere at Grimsby. 
 

Only just turned it on but first thing I saw him do was stand up to the winger and take the ball of him. 
 

He’s meant to be rapid but yet to see him bomb forward 

[Rubbersoul]

Tranmere fans are loving Joseph. Was involved in their last minute winner. Played really well!

Technically not a Joseph assist but great bit of play! 
 

Pretty sure he’s been playing on both sides for Tranmere but definitely more of a RB.

Leicester City may have another gem as calls for deal follow 'phenomenal' performance
Jayden Joseph helped set up a 96th-minute winner for Tranmere Rovers on Thursday evening, with the teenage wing-back showing his strengths in attack and defence

Leicester City may have another gem in their ranks with full-back Jayden Joseph “phenomenal” for loan club Tranmere Rovers on Thursday night.

The 19-year-old City wide-man, playing as a right-sided wing-back, was praised for his defensive and attacking work by Tranmere fans as their team claimed a 2-1 win at Grimsby in League Two.

Joseph was up against Grimsby’s Charles Vernam, who leads League Two for combined goals and assists this season, but he managed to keep the winger quiet.

Then, in the 96th minute, it was Joseph’s cross that caused chaos in the Grimsby box and allowed Kristian Dennis to prod in a winner.

 

While it won’t go down as an official assist, it’s another attacking contribution from Joseph, who set up goals in each of Tranmere’s previous two games too.

The teenager, who featured for City’s first team in pre-season, is only on loan at Prenton Park until January and Tranmere supporters are hoping that is extended, especially after his display on Thursday night.

 

Here’s what a selection of Tranmere fans said about the City loanee on X, formerly Twitter.

 

KBizz1e: “Jayden Joseph brilliant again. Need to keep him beyond Jan.”

Alexron_19: “Jayden Joseph is class for 19. Defensively superb against one of the best wingers in the league. He’ll go far in his career.”

Dan_M0718: “Jayden Joseph is genuinely so good at football, it’s unreal.”

WilloTRFC: “Jayden Joseph was absolutely fantastic against Vernam.”

KaruAlfaris: “Can we extend Jayden Joseph until end of season as well?”

EthanHoijord3: “New owners around Christmas time, or so it has been said. Their first task: keeping Jayden Joseph past Jan. What a player. He has been phenomenal on the right, defensively and going forwards.

jack_jones067: “Jayden Joseph is one hell of a footballer.”

fanfooty24: “Jayden Joseph has been fantastic against their main goal threat.”

RicciTRFC: “The only little bit of joy they are getting is down our left, Joseph has been outstanding so far tonight, best player on the pitch.”

lennyb1983: “Defensively, Joseph has been superb.”

 

[TheGoldenGod]

There's a real opportunity for Joseph to get solid minutes for us next year considering Ricky P is finished and Hamza is playing there out of necessity.
