(CMC) – Guyana international Nathan Moriah-Welsh has joined Welsh outfit Newport County, who play in England’s League Two, on a season-long loan from Premier League new boys Bournemouth.
Moriah-Welsh, 20, hailed by his new boss as “quick and athletic”, has made two appearances for Bournemouth since joining the Cherries from Reading in 2018.
The London-born Jaguars midfielder, who can also play at full-back, becomes Newport’s ninth signing of the summer.
“I’m really pleased that we can add another midfield player to our ranks,” Newport manager James Rowberry.
“He might be only five feet, eight inches tall, but Nathan is quick and strong and brings energy, athleticism and good ball-playing qualities to that department. I’d like to thank Bournemouth and their trust in allowing Nathan to come and join us.”
Moriah-Welsh was an unused substitute on seven occasions in the Championship last season, when Bournemouth won promotion to the Premier League. His two first-team outings were in the FA Cup earlier this year.
Moriah-Welsh, who was also eligible to play for Grenada, chose to play for the Jaguars after talks with their head coach. He made his Guyana debut last year.
