Newport County have announced the re-signing of experienced full back Cameron Norman, who joins from Tranmere Rovers.

The 30-year-old defender returns to Rodney Parade ahead of the 2026-27 season having originally joined Newport County in 2021 and quickly becoming an important figure in the squad, earning consecutive Player of the Year awards.

Since leaving Newport, Norman continued to compete in League Two, gaining further experience and adding to his appearances at EFL level with MK Dons and more recently Tranmere Rovers.

Speaking to the Newport County website, Norman said returning to the club felt like the right move at this stage of his career.

“Really good, really excited,” he said.

“To be honest, I love this place. I had two really good years here, probably two of my favourite years in my professional football career.

“It’s just a nice feeling walking back through, coming into the changing room, seeing the pitch, I’ve got a lot of good memories here, so I’m really excited.

“I didn’t really know the club very well when I first signed, but it turned out to be a great decision.

“I played a lot of games, got to 100 appearances, which I was really proud of. I just enjoyed being out there every week, especially at home, and the backing from the fans really stood out.”

Now returning to Newport County, Norman believes he can add both experience and consistency to the squad.

“I feel as good as I did when I first came in. I want to be involved as much as possible, week to week and in training. I know what’s expected here and I’m ready to deliver that.”

Known for his energetic style, Norman says supporters can expect a committed and dynamic approach on the pitch.

“I’m up and down all game. I pride myself on my fitness. I want to be as good going forward as I am defending.

“I’m combative, I like to get involved, and if we need to dig in, I want to be one of the leaders that sets that tone.”
