What Was Said
Newport announced via their website they had signed the Orient midfielder. Gorman arrives on loan for the remainder of the season.
Gorman is Newport’s second signing after striker Billy Waters joined earlier this week.
Gorman has made 17 appearances for Orient scoring once this season. He will provide a much-needed option in midfield for Michael Flynn.
Speaking about his move to the Newport website, Gorman said: “I am delighted to sign. It’s happened pretty quickly to be honest, exactly how I’d prefer, and I can’t wait to get going.
“I’ll give my all, work my socks off for the team every game and hopefully bring my energy to the team. I like to get on the ball, try and make things happen but I also love the dirty side of the game as well. County fans can always expect 100% off me.”
Manager Michael Flynn added: “It’s great news to get Dale in. He’s another who will add competition to the squad, he’s a fierce tackler and was very highly thought of by Justin Edinburgh as well who signed him.”
“He’s someone who I have known about for a while and he has been one of my targets for some time, I am delighted to get Dale signed.”
Gorman could make his debut this weekend when Newport travel to Scunthorpe United.
A Good Combative Midfielder for Newport
Dale Gorman arrives hoping to be a main fixture in the Newport midfield. He will add some much-needed steel and fiery nature.
A fiery nature and fierce tackling can certainly help Newport going forward. The Exiles are in rotten league form and are slowly fading out of the play-off race.
Michael Flynn will hope Gorman can help push Newport in the right direction.
