Former Coventry City youngster Dion Kelly Evans has been on trial at Newport County.

Former Coventry City midfielder Danny Philliskirk has signed for AFC Fylde.

City had the midielder on a short term contract after impressing in an U23's game for Sheffield United at AHC and he made one appearance for City before being released.

He then went on to make over 100 appearances for Blackpool and 40 for Oldham Athletic.

Speaking about his move to the National League side's club website, Philliskirk said: “I had heard good things about the club, I knew they were interested, I came and met Chally, had a look around and I’ve never looked back, the facilities here really open up your eyes and it’s great to see what they’re doing.”

“A couple of other clubs were interested but it was important for me to be close to home and my family.”
