Newport County have confirmed that the contract of striker Chris Zebroski has been terminated after he was jailed for four years and four months for two separate assaults.

The 28-year-old was sentenced at Swindon Crown Court today after admitting four charges of robbery, attempted robbery and assault in relation to two incidents.

Following the sentencing, Newport released a statement on their official website, which read: "Newport County have noted the prison sentence handed down to striker Chris Zebroski today.
