Newport County forward Luke Jephcott is looking to rediscover his scoring touch after a challenging period. The 24-year-old, who once commanded a £5 million price tag during his time at Plymouth, has struggled to replicate his previous form since joining the Exiles in January.

Jephcott has yet to score for County and has only bagged five goals since his last goal in October 2022 for Swindon. He has been a regular in the squad, making appearances off the bench and starting in cup games, but hasn’t managed to break into the starting lineup consistently.

Despite his lack of goals, manager Nelson Jardim remains optimistic about Jephcott’s potential and believes he can contribute to the team in other ways. “He is always ready for whatever the team needs,” Jardim said. “We are just trying to find the best way of him helping the team; I have been asking him to do other things and I am sure that will bring a little bit more out of him.”

Jephcott has shown versatility, playing as a number 10 and a false nine. He has even provided an assist for County in a recent match against Cheltenham, displaying his ability to contribute even when not scoring himself.

While Jephcott waits for his first goal for the club, his manager is confident he will be a valuable asset for Newport County.
