NEWPORT County AFC managerial candidate Graham Westley was spotted at Rodney Parade last night as the Exiles lost to Swansea City in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Photographs of new Swansea City manager Bob Bradley appear to show Westley, who is odds-on favourite to replace Warren Feeney, chatting to County chairman of the owner's board Malcolm Temple in the background.

County chiefs will interview other candidates on Wednesday and hope to make an appointment on Thursday in time for the new man to take charge of the side for Saturday's trip to Colchester United.

The latest bookies odds have Westley as 2-5 favourite with Mark Yates 7-4 second favourite, Colin Pascoe 14-1 and Peter Taylor, Chris Todd and Steve Cotterill all 16-1 to land the job.
