NEWPORT COUNTY have signed Colchester United midfielder Alex Gilbey on loan.

The 18-year-old captained the U’s youth team prior to signing a two-and-a-half year pro deal with them in February last year.

He made his first-team debut in October of 2012 and has since in three further games for the League One outfit.

Gilbey has now linked up with Newport and will be available the final ten games of the Exiles’ quest for automatic promotion from the Blue Square Bet Premier.

The teenager is eager to begin life at Rodney Parade and is confident his spell there will be a big benefit to his development as a player.

Speaking to the Colchester United website, he said: “I can’t wait to get going and to get to know the players at Newport.

“This is going to be a massive change for me and the first time that I’ve been away from Colchester United, so it’s going to be a big learning curve.

“But I’ve spoken to some of the young lads that have been here on loan from other clubs to get their views and they’ve told me exactly what to expect.

“I’ve also spoken to the senior pros here and they’ve been really helpful with what they’ve told me to expect and how I should get myself ready.”
