Newport County have signed Wales midfielder Matt Smith following his exit from St Johnstone.
The 25-year-old, who has 19 caps, has agreed a two-year deal with the League Two club and becomes new boss David Hughes’ first Exiles signing.
Smith played 25 times for St Johnstone last season as they were relegated from the Scottish Premiership, but did not feature after being substituted in the first half of a defeat to Dundee in early January and became a free agent this summer.
In all he played 60 times for St Johnstone after signing from MK Dons in 2023.
“We are delighted to bring Matt on board. As a group of staff, we feel he is a really good signing for us, and he will certainly strengthen the squad,” said Hughes, who took charge at Newport last month.
