    Newport County have extended the loan of striker Kyle Hudlin from Huddersfield Town until the end of the season.

    The 24-year-old has scored four goals for the Exiles in 20 appearances, his first coming against Salford in October 2024.

    Hudlin, who is one of the tallest professional football players at 6ft 9in, has also netted against Tranmere, Gillingham and Bradford.

    The striker had originally signed a four-month loan deal on deadline day, but will now spend the rest of the 2024-25 season at Rodney Parade.

    Hudlin will have the chance to add to his Newport goal tally on the day of his loan extension, as the Exiles host AFC Wimbledon.

    Swansea City defender Ben Cabango will undergo tests to reveal the severity of a groin injury suffered against Portsmouth on New Year's Day.

    Cabango was forced off in the final few minutes of the game as the Swans were beaten 4-0 at Fratton Park.

    Swansea head coach Luke Williams says they do not yet know if the Wales defender will be available for Saturday's game against West Bromwich Albion.

    "Ben felt something in his groin, so that is a concern for us, now we have to assess him as quickly as we can," said Williams.

    The Swans were without midfielder Goncalo Franco against Portsmouth after his nasty injury against Luton.

    The summer signing had four of the teeth in his lower jaw displaced against the Hatters, and like Cabango is having medical assessments before returning.

    "Franco is in a far better place than he was when he left the pitch," added Williams.

    "We are hoping he is going to make a quick recovery but we will need some specialists to give us the all-clear to make sure we do not put him in a dangerous situation."
