· Yahoo Sports
Sven Sprangler says signing for Newport County was a "no brainer" and he is confident he can help the Exiles avoid relegation from League Two.
The midfielder joined on loan from St Johnstone until the end of the season and links up with his fellow Austrian, manager Christian Fuchs.

"When I had the opportunity to come over it was a no brainer. It's incredible to be here," Sprangler said.
The 30-year-old has spent most of his career playing in the Austrian Bundesliga with Mattersburg and Wolfsberger AC, before a move to Scotland in 2023.
"It was always my dream to play in the UK. Here it's more physical, higher tempo, and I think that suits my playing style a little bit better," he said.
"I feel very welcome here, I know Matt Smith from when we played together at St Johnstone, and he's helped me a lot as well."
County sit 23rd in the table with a threat of relegation looming, but Sprangler is confident the team has enough quality to maintain their EFL status.
"I'm a fighter. I'm a team player and it was always my style to play for the team and give everything for the club and for the badge," he said.
"When I saw the quality of the group, there is a no doubt that we can stay up.
"It's a challenge I know, everyone in the team knows that and every game matters now. We have to give everything on every game."
