Keanu Marsh-Brown was once linked with a £500,000 transfer to Manchester City
Newport County have signed former Forest Green Rovers winger Keanu Marsh-Brown on a two-year deal.
Earlier in the day the Exiles signed midfielder Charlie Cooper on a season-long loan, also from Forest Green.
Marsh-Brown spent three seasons at Forest Green after starting his career with Premier League Arsenal and Fulham.
"I'm delighted to sign for Newport... I want to do well for this team and hopefully help them push as high up the table as possible," Brown said.
"The manager gives me a lot of confidence and he knows what he wants from me next season. That was the main reason that I wanted to sign."
Manager Michael Flynn added: "I'm very excited about Keanu g. He's one of those players who gets the fans on the edge of their seats."
Cooper, 21, became County's third g of the week having also landed striker Jamille Matt from Blackpool and defender Fraser Franks from Stevenage.
Newport boss Flynn added: "Charlie is a young, hungry, and tenacious player, he's good technically and will fit into the club's philosophy."
The Exiles are also set for talks with out-of-contract captain Joss Labadie.
Midfielder Labadie is recovering from surgery having damaged his cruciate knee ligament in March.
The 27-year-old is set to be out until at least October and is yet to agree a new deal, although the League Two club remain hopeful of reaching an agreement.
