Vickers in Sole catch
Magpies’ boss Ashley Vickers had been on the trail of a Blue Square Bet Premier striker for the last two weeks. And his persistence has finally paid off with the capture of Newport County’s Sole. Former Exile Vickers is now hopeful that the 22-year-old can play a huge role in hauling the Magpies off the foot of Blue Square Bet South, starting with Saturday’s visit of Ebbsfleet United. He said: “We’ve got him for three months and he can also play in the FA Cup for us. We’re only paying part of his wages and Newport manager Dean Holdsworth has done us a huge favour, which I won’t forget and one day hope to repay. “Giuseppe will be a great acquisition, he’s made a commitment to train with us as well, and I’m really excited about welcoming him to the club. “We’ve been creating a lot of chances but not taking them, so hopefully Giuseppe will help with that. “Goalscoring is obviously a huge part of the game and goalscorers are often the difference between teams at the top of the table and those at the bottom. “Bringing him in is a big bonus and if he starts ticking it can rub off on everyone else. “I’m really pleased to get him, let’s hope it’s a fruitful move for both Giuseppe and the club.” Vickers also suggested there could be further movement this week – both in and out of the club. The county town chief, who saw Neil Martin and James Coutts both pick injuries at the weekend, added: “We are looking at getting another loanee in possibly but we have to make sure we balance the books.” Asked if a striker would have to make way following the arrival of Sole, Vickers replied: “Possibly – we’ll see. We have lost a midfielder in James, and Dave Allen can also play in midfield, so we will see how we go.” Following the double injury blow, club secretary and vice-chairman David Martin confirmed the Magpies could recall Jake Smeeton and Harry Monta-cute from their respective one-month loan spells, but not Harry Nodwell. Meanwhile, Vickers has rubbished claims of a divide within the Magpies’ dressing room. He said: “It’s a load of nonsense and couldn’t be further from the truth. I have never seen such a united set of lads and I’m sure all the boys would agree with that.”
