Hayden Mullins Appointed Newport County Manager

Taking immediate charge, he must recruit three or four first‑team players before pre‑season friendlies and the League Two opener.

Overview

Newport confirmed Hayden Mullins as their permanent manager on Friday after Christian Fuchs stepped away in late June.
Mullins left his role as Fulham Under‑21s boss to take immediate charge and will lead pre‑season matches against Yeovil and AS Roma.
The new manager faces a tight window to sign players because he says the squad is three or four players short and he will use loan and academy channels to fill gaps.
Chris Todd, who had been interim manager, is expected to remain with the club while assistant Mark Smith has departed.
Mullins is the fourth permanent boss appointed by owner Huw Jenkins since January 2024, a run of turnover that has driven owner-led recruitment and now compresses Mullins’s preparation time.
