Leicester sold Brandon Cover to Rotherham. The Jamaica international became a one game wonder at Leicester. He was on the bench vs. Charlton, but on deadline day joining The Millers for an undislcosed fee.
It’s been an interesting start for Christian Fuchs at Newport. The former Leicester defender took charge at Rodney Parade in November last year. He has since joining won two, lost eight and managed a draw three times. Newport are second to bottom, but only three points behind Shrewsbury on safe ground.
Sammy Braybrooke had a bitter sweet experience when returning to Newport with Chesterfield.
