Newport County appoint Terry Butcher

Newport have appointed former England captain Terry Butcher as their new manager.

The Sky Bet League Two club, who are unable to reach the play-off positions on the final day of the season, have been supervised by caretaker boss Jimmy Dack since Justin Edinburgh joined Gillingham in February.

But 56-year-old Butcher has now been asked to lead the Exiles for the next two years.

His management career includes spells with Sunderland, Brentford and Inverness and has also taken him to Australia with Sydney FC, while he was most recently in charge at Hibernian.
