Newport County have signed defensive midfielder Bryn Morris after he was released by League Two rivals Grimsby Town.
Morris has agreed a two-year contract at Rodney Parade and becomes the Exiles' third summer recruit.
The 27-year-old, a product of Middlesbrough's academy, has made 200 senior appearances, including 42 in his one season at Grimsby.
"Bryn is a great addition," said Newport manager Graham Coughlan.
"He has a lot of experience and will give us additional ball control in the middle of the park.
"He has a great engine which will fit into how we play. He is also a great character who displays strong leadership qualities, so I'm really looking forward to working with him."
Farquharson leaves Newport despite contract offer
Hartlepool-born Morris made a handful of first-team appearances at Boro, while he also had spells on loan at Burton Albion, Coventry City, York City and Walsall.
He joined Shrewsbury Town in 2017 and, after a loan at Wycombe Wanderers, moved to Portsmouth on a permanent deal in 2019.
Morris went on loan to Northampton Town before rejoining Burton, and had a loan stint at Hartlepool before his move to Grimsby in 2022.
Newport have also signed attacking midfielder Nathan Wood and defender Kyle Jameson this summer.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
