Last updated on .From the section Newport
Newport County defenders Aaron Lewis and Ryan Haynes have signed new contracts to remain at Rodney Parade.
Lewis, 22, has agreed a new two-year deal that will see him remain at the club until the summer of 2023.
Haynes, 25, made 40 appearances for the Exiles last season and has agreed a new one-year deal with the club.
"I'm buzzing, I'm really excited to be back, securing that promotion is definitely one of the main aims for next season" said Lewis.
"Obviously this is a two-year deal so we're just trying to pick up where we left off last season which was a little disappointing."
Former Shrewsbury defender Haynes said: "I'm very pleased to be extending my stay, hopefully this year can add more memories on top of the ones I already have with the club."
It has already been a busy summer for Newport, who were beaten in the League Two play-off final.
Goalkeeper Joe Day has re-joined the club from Cardiff City, while defenders Scot Bennett and Mickey Demetriou have signed new contracts.
Midfielders Josh Sheehan and Joss Labadie have departed for Bolton and Walsall respectively, with Newport signing Ed Upson from Bristol Rovers as a replacement.
Newport boss Mike Flynn said: "I'm really pleased to get Ryan signed for next season.
"And I'm delighted that Aaron has signed, from January onwards he proved himself to be a valuable player for us."
