John Brough is a surprising face at pre-season training for the League One newboys.
But the former Bulls defender, allowed to leave Aldershot earlier in the year after a series of disappointing displays, is there for his coaching badges and no more.
Brough, 33, left Aldershot 'by mutual consent' and joined Newport. He will help train the u-16 and u-18 sides for Cheltenham before joining Newport for their Conference South season. He will join former Bulls keeper Tony Pennock at the Newport Stadium. Brough played 112 times for the Bulls between 1994 and 1998.
Two other former Bulls players, Nigel Vaughan and Steve Lowndes, were in attendance at Newport last weekend for a 25th anniversary reunion of Newport's Cup Winners Cup quarter final game with Carl Zeiss Jena. Vaughan was a Graham Turner signing for Wolves, but managed just 13 games for the Bulls in two years in the early 1990's. Lowndes played 49 times for the Bulls in the same two years between two stints at Newport and a four year term at Barnsley.
