NEWPORT County AFC have confirmed that winger Alex Rodman has rejected the offer of a new contract and will be leaving the club.

The Nottingham Post has reported that Rodman, who arrived at Rodney Parade from Gateshead last summer, is set to be reunited with former Exiles boss John Sheridan at League Two Notts County.

In a statement released this afternoon, Newport County said: "Although it would be inappropriate for the club to comment on another club, we can confirm that club officials have been in dialogue with the player and his representative for a period of time.

"Unfortunately this has resulted in Alex not accepting the offer made to stay with us. As a result we would like to wish Alex all the best for the future.

"We are also able to confirm that we will be announcing new signings early next week."
