STATEMENT RELEASED ON BEHALF OF GRAHAM COUGHLAN:
“To the staff and players of Newport County, I want to express my gratitude and admiration to you all and say that it was an honour, a privilege and a pleasure to work with you guys over the last two seasons.
“To our fantastic fans, we had our highs and lows, but the loyal and unwavering support you gave us was unbelievable and very much appreciated by me, the staff and the players.
“Constantly fighting against all odds is never easy, but the players got on with it and gave their all every day, running through brick walls and up holding the values and principles of the Newport people.
“We achieved a lot in the last two seasons, made some great memories and very nearly made the impossible happen.
“Finally, I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone at the club for the coming season.”
