Newport County have appointed Jimmy Dack as their manager until the end of the season.

Dack had been in caretaker charge of the League Two side following Justin Edinburgh's move to Gillingham earlier this month.

The 42-year-old has overseen one win, one draw and one defeat in his previous three games at the helm for Newport.

"I would like to thank the board and fans for their support over the last couple of weeks, it's now time for us all to come together and get behind the team as we push for the playoffs," Dack told the club's official website.

"It is vitally important that we make Rodney Parade our fortress and bring it back to the level it was earlier in the season. Once again thank you for your support."

Newport are back in action on Saturday when they travel to Burton Albion in the league.
