The 22-year-old joins on a short-term deal from Mansfield Town. The deal is still subject to international clearance and Rose is unlikely to feature in tomorrow’s League Two clash at Barnet. Speaking after the deal had been agreed Westley said: “It is widely known that I want to add to our midfield options and Mitch is an ideal recruit; youthful yet experienced, good footballing quality yet a strong athlete, forward-thinking yet a defensive competitor. “He adds to our options and brings a huge ambition with him to South Wales.” http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/football/newportcounty/15038282.Newport_County_snap_up_Stags_midfielder/ Rose started his career at Rotherham United and had loan spells at Stamford and Crawley Town before joining Ilkeston in 2014 where he was part of the 2014/15 team that reached the play-offs. He joined County’s League Two rivals Mansfield in May 2015. Rose has played 23 times for the Stags this season, scoring three goals, and he was part of the team that won 3-2 at Rodney Parade on the opening day of the season. ----------------- |
