NICKY Maynard has already packed plenty into his glittering career – but he’s hungry to add another promotion with Newport County to his CV.
The 34-year-old ex-Bristol City and West Ham striker swapped League Two’s mid-table Mansfield for the promotion-chasing Exiles on deadline day and was straight into his stride, netting the winner in the first game of his loan spell against Grimsby last weekend.
Flynn has been a long-time admirer of the former Cardiff frontman and Maynard was left in no doubt that a move back to South Wales was the best option on the table.
“I had interest from a few clubs but only the gaffer here showed his intent in wanting me to be part of his squad,” said Maynard.
“He said he’d been chasing me for a couple of years and that I’d fit straight into the team here and do really well.
“That was the first big pull, to want to go and play for him. Newport have been there or thereabouts over the past few years and I also wanted to be in a team challenging for promotion.
