While Proudlock still turns out for Newport Town in Division One of the West Midlands League, he is also managing the club's under-14 side.

And the youngsters have made an encouraging start to their Midland Junior League campaign under the guidance of Proudlock, who also had a brief spell with Market Drayton Town, with three wins and a draw from their opening six matches.

Their latest outing saw them end CS Colts' unbeaten start to the season.

After a goalless first half, Newport made the breakthrough 15 minutes from time when captain Toby Brown headed home after Juan Dhir's free-kick had been tipped onto the bar by the Colts keeper.

Brown then turned provider to set Adam Smith through one on-one with the keeper, with Smith netting to secure a 2-0 win.
