Terry Butcher: 'Regan Poole move to Manchester United great for Newport County'

Terry Butcher has said that teenager Regan Poole's transfer to Manchester United is a "great boost" for Newport County.

The 17-year-old signed for United on deadline day for an initial fee of £100k.

"It's a great boost for the club, in terms of the academy, the first team and the area of Newport. The region produces a lot of good, young footballing talent. We are active in the transfer market and there will be options for us when the loan window re-opens again in a week's time," Butcher told reporters.

"There is a small legacy in many aspects that Regan has created, the money that he has generated could help to get other players and to give the younger boys that inspiration to possibly do what he's done one day."

Poole had already appeared in five matches for Newport County this season.
