JAZZI Barnum-Bobb has returned to Newport County AFC on a permanent basis after finalising a one-year deal with the League Two outfit.

The 20-year-old London-born right-back made 12 appearances for the Exiles last season while on loan from Cardiff City.

“I’m delighted to sign for Newport County AFC,” he said. “There are a lot of new faces that Warren has brought in over the summer and it is a very exciting time to be joining the club.

“There has been a lot of changes here at the Club, but the one thing that has stayed the same is that Warren is here and I'm really looking forward to working with him next season.”

County boss Warren Feeney added: “I’m pleased that we have managed to secure the signing of Jazzi on a permanent basis.

“When he was here on loan last season I thought he did very well and the fans really took to him.

“He’s a young kid, who is always looking to learn and he has plenty of potential and will fit in well with the squad we are building here and Jazzi will provide a good balance for us.

“He has got games behind him at this level and I'm sure he will be a great addition for us.”
