Chelsea goalkeeper Mitchell Beeney extends Newport stay

The 20-year-old, whose father Mark is a former Brighton keeper and currently under-21 goalkeeping coach at Stamford Bridge, will stay with the Exiles until April 16.

Beeney initially moved to Rodney Parade in mid-January and has made four appearances so far

County boss Warren Feeney told the club's official website: "I'm delighted that Mitchell has chosen to extend his stay with us

I am very pleased to have him on board

"The whole squad has taken to Mitchell and I want competition for places

I have three very good goalkeepers in the squad at present and I want to keep that competition for places, as it keeps everybody on their toes.

"I have been very impressed with his performances so far

He comes from a very good footballing upbringing at Chelsea and he is a player that I am delighted to have at my disposal."
